The story

Carl Auböck returned to Vienna from the Bauhaus and turned his father’s brass workshop into a studio for things you like to hold: brass paperweights, corkscrews with horn handles, bowls, bottle openers, candle holders. Plain, warm, with the weight of real material.

The workshop on Bernardgasse is a place where nothing has been thrown away since 1912: moulds, models, sketches, all still there. Carl Auböck IV runs the business; visits are by appointment only.

What you experience

A workshop visit by appointment: casting, filing, polishing, the archive with the original models. For small groups interested in design and craft, ideally combined with Jarosinski & Vaugoin a few streets away.
