Brass Cast Iron Pen Rest

Carl Auböck IV still works in the same atelier with the original brass moulds that were at the forefront of the Bauhaus and Wiener Werkstätte traditions. He's modernised the brand’s hand-worked desk sets with input from designers such as Michael Anastassiades, yet the handmade ethos remains.
