Brass Paperclip Letter Opener

The dual function of this brass letter opener that can also serve as a bookmark speaks to the ingenious Mid-century design by Carl Auböck II. His sleek, undulating design is still hand-moulded and refined at the family’s workshop in Vienna by descendants Carl Auböck IV and V.

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.
