Josef Hoffmann's famous cutlery No. 135 was designed a year before the founding of the Wiener Werkstätte. 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.

Prutscher Cutlery Designer Otto Prutscher Year of design 1930s

Item Prutscher cutlery Item no. BD -179

Item 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.

"Faden" Cutlery by Prutscher Designer Otto Prutscher Year of design 1920s

Purity of form is the particular feature of Otto Prutscher's cutlery. 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.

The advent of espresso in the 1950s brought new life to Vienna's coffeehouse scene. Inspired by the light-heartedness of the Itali- an way of life, architect Oswald Haerdtl designed the interiors of numerous cafés in the style of the time, including the famous Arabia Espresso at Vienna's Kohlmarkt. The design of his cutlery reflects the positive, buoyant mood of the epoch. Its fine, deeply engraved fluting quotes from classical forms of decoration and is enriched by contemporary Italian influences.

Name"Cutt" desCutlery Produktes Designer Thomas Feichtner Year of design 2006

Item "Cutt" cutlery Item no. KB-401

Item Item no. Size Weight annex mm g Dinner spoon - 01 l 192 85 Dinner fork - 02 l 192 80 Dinner knife - 03 l 195 42 Pastry fork -15 l 130 42 Coffee or tea spoon -13 l 130 45 Fish fork -17 l 192 92 Fish knife -19 l 192 89

The "Cutt" cutlery set is exemplary of Thomas Feichtner's experimental approach. Designed in 2006, it challenges the functional and ergonomic requirements on cutlery, and yet it surprises with its functionality once it gets used. Individual surfaces folded to shape a bowl-like cavity turn out to be the body of the spoon or fork. The set was initially manufactured on a small scale by Wiener Silber Manufactur; meanwhile "Cutt" has found its way into various cutlery and design collections.

Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace was eponymous for this pattern. Forms inspired by the Baroque introduced the glory and grandeur of the imperial court to the dining tables of the upper middle class. Today this pattern remains an expression of the joyous celebration of dining; it embodies luxury and classiness, the joie de vivre of an epoch.

14 CLASSIC CUTLERY

With its lightness and easy elegance the "Belvedere" cutlery dovetails with both traditional interiors and modern settings. Its continuous ornamentation and delicate curves at the bottom of the handles reflect the opulence of the Baroque, introducing an air of the savoir vivre of those bygone days to the modern dining table.

15 CLASSIC CUTLERY

"Hofburg" Designer Archive Year of design Undated

Item "Hofburg" cutlery Item no. BVC-189

Item Item no. Size Weight annex mm g Dinner spoon - 01 l 200 95 Dinner fork - 02 l 195 75 Dinner knife - 03 l 240 35 Pastry fork -15 l 140 35 Coffee or tea spoon -13 l 135 38

The "Hofburg" cutlery is a modernized version of a design that was used by the Imperial family until 1918. It was initially produced in 1881 for the Prague residence of Crown Prince Rudolf and his newly-wed wife Stéphanie of Belgium. In 1902, Stéphanie commissioned silver manufacturer Alexander Sturm to produce a new set for the wedding of her daughter, Archduchess Elisabeth. Until today, "Hofburg" has been the official state cutlery of the Czech Republic. And it is still used in Austrian embassies through- out the world.

16 CLASSIC CUTLERY

Name"Mirabell" des Produktes Designer Archive Year of design Undated

In 1606, Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau had Mira- bell Palace in Salzburg built as a gift for his true love, Salome Alt. The romance of this story is reflected in the "Mirabell" pattern. With trefoil ends to the handles and encircling grooves, it bor- rows from the sensuous lines of the Baroque.

17 CLASSIC CUTLERY

"Geigenkasten" Designer Archive Year of design Undated

Item "Geigenkasten" cutlery Item no. BVC-193

Item Item no. Size Weight annex mm g Dinner spoon - 01 l 195 75 Dinner fork - 02 l 196 70 Dinner knife - 03 l 225 35 Pastry fork -15 l 140 30 Coffee or tea spoon -13 l 135 32

The "Geigenkasten" cutlery, named after the violin shape of the handle, is one of our most traditional silver tableware patterns. Its form and functionality were already highly appreciated in the Baroque era, when a refined dining etiquette required that the spoon and fork be held with three dainty fingers. In the 1970s, the concept was revived by adapting the pattern to suit modern ways of dining. This cutlery is a "must have" on any wedding gift list. It harmonizes extremely well with any china service and offers a sufficiently large area to engrave coats of arms or monograms.

"Wiener Wamperl" Designer Archive Year of design Undated

Item "Wiener Wamperl" cutlery Item no. BVC-101

Item Item no. Size Weight annex mm g Dinner spoon -01 l 210 80 Dinner fork -02 l 205 70 Dinner knife -03 l 250 44 Pastry fork -15 l 145 30 Coffee or tea spoon -13 l 142 34

The gentle elegance of the "Wiener Wamperl" ("Viennese pot-bel- ly") exudes the cheery functionality of Biedermeier culture. Empress Elisabeth chose this cutlery in 1895 for her Kammermeierei (private dairy farm) in Schönbrunn, and Emperor Franz Joseph I had it set in various hunting lodges until 1918. Berndorf-based Arthur Krupp used this pattern to manufacture cutlery in the newly developed German silver (alpacca). Today, we produce this typical Bieder- meier cutlery in solid silver. Its austerity makes it harmonize with any place setting or ambiance and look more modern than many a contemporary set.

19 CLASSIC CUTLERY

"Eselsrücken" Designer Archive Year of design Undated

Item "Eselsrücken" cutlery Item no. BVC-104

Item Item no. Size Weight annex mm g Dinner spoon - 01 l 210 95 Dinner fork - 02 l 202 65 Dinner knife - 03 l 250 42 Pastry fork -15 l 142 30 Coffee or tea spoon -13 l 140 35

When Empress Elisabeth was residing at the legendary Achil- leion, her summer palace on the Greek island of Corfu, the table was laid with this cutlery. Its form is a variation on the "Wiener Wamperl"; it derives its name from the prominent ridge along the handle that gives this pattern its unmistakable appearance. "Eselsrücken" is a functional and aesthetically pleasing Biedermeier cutlery pattern that has always been one of the most popular models in our classic range.

What composer Gustav Mahler had in mind as a Christmas present for his young wife Alma was a silver box, adorned with corals, so he had it designed by Kolo Moser and manufactured by Alexander Sturm. It became a Christmas present that was nothing less than a love declaration in the shape of a silver box. Today, Moser's original draft is in our archives, where it serves as a reference for our beautiful, hand-made sugar box.

The bowl is available in various sizes in a polished or martelé finish, with a silver or semiprecious stone ball at the top.

This sculptural centerpiece is made to an early design by Josef Hoffman. Its pure, long-legged physique and the smooth surface of its base are revolutionary. Its only adornment consists of four semiprecious stones. Designed in 1902, this centerpiece became a major work of 20th century Viennese design.

When this bowl was created in the early 1930s, Oswald Haerdtl was running Josef Hoffmann's studio. The bowl gives us an idea of how close their collaboration was, although a new momentum comes into play in this design by Haerdtl: the grooves and ridges make the light flicker and shimmer. Similar patterns of fluting can be found on his 1950s cutlery (e.g. Flatware 192).

The polished hemi- spherical foot reflects the central ellipsoid, which hovers over it like a spaceship. There are rosettes and buds added to the connecting points that even enhance the unorthodox character of this design.

Relief coating of hollowware has always been one of the most difficult techniques for a silversmith. This jug, designed by Otto Prutscher in the 1930s, captures the light in its protruding elements and reflects its surroundings. Its manufacturing requires total mastery of the material, and yet the vivacious elegance of the object conceals all the difficulty involved in its production.

The great talent of architect and product designer Otto Prutscher was his ability to tell stories by means of forms. In this case, Prutscher's art imitates a quartet of pumpkins.

Otto Pruscher designed what he called his "Travel Service" for the first great Austrian Art Exhibition in 1947, held in Vienna. In formal terms it relates to the elegant models of the 1930s: compact, oval forms, integrated lids, polished, reflective silver surfaces that contrast with the volutes of the precious black wood handles. Details like silver rivets convey a touch a functionalism.

Convex, humped forms were a favorite motif in Renaissance and Baroque silverware. Continuous lines, irregular curvatures and the relation between the decoration and the overall form … Otto Prutscher delved into ornamentation and translated historic shapes into his own formal language. Transferring the lines drawn on pa- per onto the hard metal and giving them a three-dimensional form still demands utmost mastery of craftsmanship today.

Item "Viennese Pot" Item no. K D A - 0110 - W K ø mm 180–350 Size | mm h 200 Weight | g 800

The "Viennese Pot" is defined by edges that have an effect of dynamics instead of making the pot look heavy and bulky. The tapered spout seems to almost make the teapot tip over, but the handle made of Swiss pine provides counterbalance. The sophisticated handle, which is actually a continuation of two surfaces, allows perfect one-handed pouring without spilling.

Thomas Feichtner's "Fruit Bowl" has in fact nothing in common with the round objects you normally put fruits on. Instead, it is a sophisticated interplay of internal and external surfaces. It ap- pears as if the fruit might fall out through the openings in the legs, but it actually gets wedged and is thus caught. This is both an intended irritation and the most significant functional element of the fruit bowl.

A clever design by young designer Marco Dessi: "Frame" not only combines two different geometric figures – the circle and the square – but also two materials, namely silver and (colored) Perspex. To facilitate washing this piece, the silver frame can be easily detached. An object that is both striking and great fun! "Frame" was created for the context of the WIEN PRODUCTS Collection 2011 and was chosen by the press as its favorite piece.

Those who know Thomás Alonso, whose design often looks like light, three-dimensional drafts made of simple wood, probably won't associate his work with silver. This made our collaboration for the Vienna Design Week 2011 all the more fascinating. True to the motto "functionality of the pattern", Alonso designed this plain tea service with a fluted pattern on the underside of the set and on the upper side of the tray so as to make them engage with each other. The set looks witty, yet at the same time harmonious.

This sculptural centerpiece is made to an early design by Josef Hoffman. Its pure, long-legged physique and the smooth surface of its base are revolutionary. Its only adornment consists of four semiprecious stones. Designed in 1902, this centerpiece became a major work of 20th century Viennese design. It is available in different heights, with malachites, lapis lazuli or onyx stones.

Josef Hoffmann's famous cutlery No. 135 was designed a year before the founding of the Wiener Werkstätte. 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.

Josef Hoffmann JOSEF HOFFMANN (Pirnitz 1870–1956 Vienna)

Josef Hoffmann's ideal was the Gesamtkunstwerk, an all-embrac- ing artwork. He united – and impersonated – art, architecture, craftsmanship and design. In 1903, together with his like-minded colleague Kolo Moser, Hoffmann founded the Wiener Werkstätte. They designed the Purkersdorf Sanatorium and the Stoclet House in Brussels, two masterpieces of the Wiener Moderne. Our archives contain many groundbreaking drawings by Josef Hoffmann. Designs like his landmark pattern No. 135 are among the most popular in our range.

Kolo Moser KOLO MOSER (Vienna 1868–1918)

Like Josef Hoffmann, painter, graphic artist and craftsman Kolo Moser was greatly inspired by the English Arts and Crafts Move- ment, which was the first to propagate the idea of the total work of art. He was the co-founder of both the Wiener Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte, for which he designed mostly furniture, lamps and fashion accessories. At Gustav Mahler's request, Kolo Moser designed a magnificent little casket, which Mahler gave to his wife Alma. We still produce this masterpiece today after Moser's original draft.

Otto Prutscher OTTO PRUTSCHER (Vienna 1880–1949)

Otto Prutscher, a student of Josef Hoffmann, was one of the most influential personalities in early 20th century architecture. As an architect, his name remains inseparably linked to Red Vienna's housing complexes. He also worked as a designer for Kohn manufacturers of bentwood furniture and the Wiener Werkstätte. Prutscher has left an extensive collection of drawings for silver cutlery, tea and coffee services, candlesticks and other silverware accessories, which is preserved in our archives. Wiener Silber Manufactur is now producing some of the highlights of his design work, including his famous "Pumpkin" service from the 1930s.

Oswald Haerdtl OSWALD HAERDTL (Vienna 1899–1959)

Oswald Haerdtl studied under Kolo Moser and worked together with Josef Hoffmann. He was one of the key Austrian architects and designers of the inter-war and post-war periods. His magnum opus is the Wien Museum on Karlsplatz. Apart from furniture, lamps, chinaware and glasses, Haerdtl also designed cutlery and objects made of silver. Wiener Silber Manufactur has reissued his pattern No. 192 and a martelé dish. Many of Haerdtl's original design drafts are preserved in our archives.

Marco Dessi Marco Dessi

After an apprenticeship in the technical field, Marco Dessí (born 1976 in Merano, Italy) studied industrial design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Some of his student projects already drew international attention.

In 2007 Marco Dessí founded his own design studio. His approach of tinkering with shapes and possibilities until they feel light and intuitive again, leads to products that suggest both the radically contemporary and aesthetic longevity.
