"Mask" Bookends #4100
Werkstätte Carl Auböck
Description:
A pair of new sand cast brass bookends from the legendary Vienna workshop, Werkstätte Carl Auböck.
Originally designed by Carl Auböck II in 1948 the bookends are today made by his grandson and great-grandson -Carl Auböck IV and V, respectively. The Carl's operate from the very same workshop in central Vienna and the bookends are cast from the same positive mould from which they have always been cast. Each bookend has been meticulously hand finished which results in the objects being brilliantly tactile.
The design of the "Mask" bookends are emblematic of the workshop's playful Modernism. Two holes in each bookend render this minimal design with a vague anthropomorphism and an architectural, almost industrial undertone.
