ABOUT PRODUCTID 15927
This basket, designed by Carl Auböck in the 1950s, embodies Viennese craftsmanship and the principles of mid-century modern design. The distinctively rounded, oval body is made from medium-dark teak wood, with soft transitions in its grain that highlight the natural material's depth and character. The wood’s surface has a finely polished, satin-matte finish, lending a sense of authenticity and calm. The arched handle, crafted from thick cognac-colored leather, is neatly stitched with contrasting light thread for both comfort and visual clarity. Brass fittings displaying a gentle patina secure the handle, their flat screws adding a discreet functional accent and a nod to period detail. Precision joins and a seamless construction reference Auböck’s atelier standards, suggesting everyday utility elevated by subtle refinement. The overall presence is one of understated luxury and durable elegance, with the basket retaining its original elements and only minor, age-appropriate traces of careful use. Very good vintage condition. The interplay of organic shapes, leather, and warm wood speaks to postwar Vienna—a time when designers sought harmony between utility and form. In this basket, there’s a quiet sense of domestic ritual: the way light glides over the satin grain; how the handle softly yields to the hand; how brass ages naturally against teak. Every detail recalls Auböck’s studio, where craftsmanship was more an extension of daily life than an act of showmanship, and each piece bore its own narrative. This piece would settle naturally in a living space with mid-century modern sensibility, yet it may
