Brass Pipe Paperweight

The playful shape of this brass pipe paperweight 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 mid-20th century and successive generations still manufacture it by hand at the original Vienna atelier.

Country of origin: Austria
Dimensions: 14cm (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.
