It marked a revolu- tion in the history of silverware, since it involved a departure from historicism in favor of clear lines, an uncompromising allegiance to functionality. The original sets were produced for the Kohn, Wittgenstein and Mautner Markhof families. Today, we treasure the original dies as some of our most priceless possessions. They are used when special people are looking for something exceptional – for products of pure perfection. 9 DESIGNER CUTLERY Prutscher Cutlery Designer Otto Prutscher Year of design 1930s Item Prutscher cutlery Item no.

Size Weight annex mm g Dinner spoon - 01 l 210 95 Dinner fork - 02 l 205 80 Dinner knife - 03 l 215 40 Pastry fork -15 l 150 40 Coffee or tea spoon -13 l 145 40 This richly rounded set of cutlery was designed by Otto Prutscher in the 1930s. The slightly curved upper face of the handles is characteristic of his work from the 1930s. The contrast between the soft organic forms and the material's shimmering hardness constitutes this pattern's particular appeal. The pieces rest solidly and comfortably in the hand. 10 DESIGNER CUTLERY "Faden" Cutlery by Prutscher Designer Otto Prutscher Year of design 1920s Item "Faden" cutlery by Prutscher Item no. BD -181 Item Item no.

This early masterpiece of Viennese Art Deco is clearly in the tradition of Josef Hoffmann, but is also imbued with the spirit of a new age. The handles appear to be lined by a thread that runs along the edges. While in the forks and spoons the thread stops just before the bottom of the handles, it runs all around the bottom ends of the knives' rounded handles. The understated elegance of this design is absolutely timeless. 11 DESIGNER CUTLERY Haerdtl Cutlery Designer Oswald Haerdtl Year of design 1956 Item Haerdtl cutlery Item no. BD-192 Item Item no.
