Original 1938 Carl AUBOCK Corkscrew KEY very rare WW2 version! Old original Carl AUBOCK. “Corkscrew – Key” – very rare World War II version. We are offering this original Auböck corkscrew in the shape of a key. The lower end can be used to open crown caps, whereas the screw inside the key is for opening regular corks. The design has been created in 1938 by Carl Auböck II. In the past years I bought and offered many old and original Carl Aubock key corkscrews. When I saw this I was pretty surprised by the open front end and asked Mr. Carl Auböck about the history of this version. He told me that this version is pretty rare, but 100% authentic. This an old piece from the 1940s, 70-90 years old, for this reason you will find regular signs of use and patina. The object was handmade in Austria in the Auböck workshop (Vienna, Bernardgasse) and marked with “Auböck”. The material is polished brass. The object is 117mm (about 4.6 inches) long. Please see my other listings as I offer many beautiful objects from the Auböck Workshop! Please contact me if any questions occur! Der Wiener Maler und Designer Carl Auböck II zählt zu den bemerkenswertesten Künstlerpersönlichkeiten Österreichs. Anfang der 40er Jahre entwickelte Auböck jenen unverkennbaren Stil für Gebrauchs-gegenstände gehobenener Wohnkultur, der ihn nach Ende des Krieges im In- und Ausland berühmt machte. Den Höhepunkt bildete die Mailänder Triennale 1954, auf der Auböck vier Goldmedaillen für sein Werk erhielt. Nach seinem Tod führte sein Sohn Carl Auböck III (1924 1993), gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Justine, die Werkstätte weiter. Er hatte zuvor ein Architekturstudium in Wien und den USA absolviert, was auch in seinen an das Industrial Design anschließenden Entwürfen zum Ausdruck kommt. Neben der Tätigkeit als Meisterklasseleiter an der Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst in Wien seit 1977 und seinem internationalen Engagement für Architektur, Design, Produktentwicklung und Forschung, entstehen laufend neue Modelle für die Kollektion der Werkstätte. In dieser Zeit entwickelt sich der Betrieb zu einer Produktionsstätte von internationalem Rang. Auböck Design wird in den folgenden Jahrzehnten in allen Metropolen bei den ersten Adressen (Tiffany, Saks, Harrods) angeboten. Seine Nachkommen Maria und Carl Auböck führen die Werkstätte seit dem Tod ihres Vaters weiter und wollen so an das Werk Ihrer Vorfahren anknüpfen. An average parcel, e.

A very Rare Carl Aubock Corkscrew, Bottle Opener Prototype. This is a very rare Carl Aubock corkscrew key prototype from the late 1940s. Carl Auböck has seen this piece and told, that only a view brass pieces were produced in the 40ies. Our piece maybe is one of the prototypes, made of brass and steel! The Viennese artist and designer Carl Auböck is one of the quirkiest and most delightful and collectible of modern designers. A rather odd duck in the world of decorative arts, he was a peculiar talent whose specialties included smaller accessory furnishings and tabletop pieces such as corkscrews, paperweights, letter openers, book ends and bottle stoppers. He rendered these pieces in a combination of metal most often brass and such elemental materials as leather, knobby wood and animal horn, creating forms that could be almost surreal, from hands and feet to keys, birds and amoebae. As a boy, Auböck was precocious and artistic. He studied drawing and at the same time trained in the workshop of his father, a popular maker of traditional bronze figurines and collectibles. In 1919, he went to Germany to study at the Bauhaus, where he was a pupil of the progressive artist and theorist Johannes Ittens. While the Bauhaus is most associated with the rigidly ordered, functionalist architecture of its directors Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the school was in reality a liberal, spirited place a crucible for imaginative, playful and avant-garde art and design. It was this spirit that imbued Auböcks work from the time he left in 1921 to return to work with his father in Vienna, and that was passed on to his descendants, who run the atelier that is still in operation today. Vintage Auböck designs have a special character, a patina that only emphasizes how much the pieces have been loved and used. His small furniture items leather- or caned-sling magazine racks; free-edge wooden side tables with tubular bronze legs; wicker serving trolleys with turned beechwood wheels are elegant and purposeful.
