Brass Keyring
Werkstätte Carl Auböck
Description:
Originally conceived in the 1950s by Carl Auböck II, these solid, sand-cast, brass key rings are truly portable sculptures. The designs are still produced today, as new casts, by the 4th generation of the prestigious Austrian workshop, Carl Auböck IV.
Operating since the early 20th century, the Auböck workshop have always been masters of brass. Over the years, the workshop has crossed paths with Surrealism and Modernism, and traces both movements have infused the designs of the workshop and are evident even in pieces as small as these.
From a helping hand, one of the most quintessential emblems of the studio, to a perfectly formed peanut, the range of Auböck keyrings encapsulates their whimsical, playful, yet elegant approach to their medium.
The key rings come in the following shapes:
The Peanut: A real treat.
The Pig: Something lucky.
The Foot: For going places
The Hand: An emblem of creation.
The Heart: Something to never be without.
Each keyring is made from solid, sand cast brass at the Carl Auböck workshop in Vienna.
