Brass and Cane Bookends

A dialogue between brass and cane, these handmade bookends are Modernist classics, designed by Carl Auböck II in 1948 and revived by his grandson and great-grandson from the original moulds in the same Vienna workshop. The meticulous craftwork and hand-finishing give them an alluring texture.

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.
