Description
The "Earlobe" bookends are among the most distinctive creations from the Carl Auböck workshop. Their name reflects the soft, sculptural curves that transform a functional object into a work of art with an unmistakably organic character.
Designed in 1948 by Carl Auböck II, these iconic bookends are still handcrafted in Vienna using traditional techniques. Crafted from solid brass and finished by hand, each pair develops its own individual character through the subtle nuances of the material and its patina.
Whether used to support a collection of books or displayed as sculptural design objects in their own right, the "Earlobe" bookends embody the timeless balance of function, craftsmanship and refined Austrian design.
Details
Material: Brass patinated and brass polished.
Info: The patinated surface must only be carefully wiped with a dry cloth and never treated with cleaning agents. If you like, you can treat it afterwards for example with a linseed oil.
After some time a patina can develop on the polished brass surface, which can be polished off with a soft cloth and then brass polish - if desired. Through the use of the original mold small errors, such as scratches or small creases can arise in the polished surface, which, however, do not detract from the charm of the object and underline the craft manufacturing process.
