Brass Hand Letter Opener

The witty open-hand silhouette of this brass letter-opener is typical of the Auböck family workshop, founded by Carl Auböck I more than a century ago. His son Carl II designed it in the 1950s and successive generations still manufacture it by hand at the original Vienna atelier.

Material: brass
Country of origin: Austria
Dimensions: 13cm (l) / 5" (l)

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.
