Description
From paperweight to sculpture.
The 32 cm “Foot” is the monumental reinterpretation of a Carl Auböck classic. The original model was designed by Carl Auböck II in 1952/53 as a paperweight. In 2021, his grandson Carl Auböck IV revisited the iconic form and enlarged it for a special collaboration with Birkenstock (LVMH), initially created for its flagship store in Paris.
The small desk object became an impressive sculptural piece: 32 cm long, 21.5 cm high and weighing 3.2 kg. The enlarged foot is hollow and made from brass approximately 1 cm thick.
Like the original, the monumental version is produced using the sand-casting process and subsequently polished. Minor irregularities in the surface may therefore occur, making every piece unique.
A Carl Auböck in monumental scale – humorous, unexpected and distinctly sculptural.

Details
Material: polished brass.
Care: After some time, a patina can develop on the polished brass surface, which can be polished off with a soft cloth and brass polish - if desired.
Production: By using the sand casting mold, small flaws such as scratches or small kinks can appear in the polished surface, but these do not detract from the charm of the object and underline the handcrafted manufacturing process. Each piece is unique.
