DESIGN Wiener Silber Manufactur has an archive of 11,000 original designs, including works of masters of the Wiener Werkstätte such as Josef Hoffmann, Kolo Moser, Otto Prutscher and Oswald Haerdtl. It was in their creative period that Vienna became the artistic and intellectual centre of Europe. Wiener Silber Manufactur reissues original designs, including masterpieces like Josef Hoffmann's revolutionary cutlery No. 135 from 1902, or a sugar bowl designed by Kolo Moser, which Gustav Mahler gave to his wife Alma on their first Christmas Eve together in 1902. In cooperation with national and international contemporary designers like Thomas Feichtner, Tino Valentinitsch, Rainer Scharf, Claesson–Koivisto–Rune, Marco Dessi or Tomás Alonso, all of whom have a worldwide reputation, Wiener Silber Manufactur brings out state-of-the-art design of the highest quality. Silver Wiener Silber Manufactur uses a special alloy that contains 94% by mass of silver (Sterling silver, by comparison, only contains 92.5% of silver). The high value of raw materials ensures that the product value will increase over the years. In addition, the silverware is exceptionally easy to clean, since it is dishwasher-proof and extremely resistant to tarnishing. 2 W i e n e r S i lbe r m a n u fac tu r Craftsmanship Apart from the high quality of silver, exquisite craftsmanship is the main quality criterion. In fact every piece of the Wiener Silber Manufactur product range, which includes cutlery, tea sets, candelabra, bowls etc., is produced by hand in the south of Vienna. Teamwork With a staff of 20 highly qualified members, including three master silversmiths, Wiener Silber Manufactur has a team of specialists who are deeply committed to producing the finest of silverware. Hallmark Every product that leaves our house is adorned with a four-leaf clover, the symbol and hallmark of Wiener Silber Manufactur. The four-leaf clover is also available as a lovely little pendant. Delivery Times Most of the products shown in the catalog are in stock and can be delivered immediately. In case of special orders, delivery time is approximately 6 weeks.

It marked a revolution 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 D ES I G NER CUTLERY Prutscher Cutler y Otto Prutscher Designer 1930s Year of design Item Prutscher cutlery Item no.

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 D ES I G NER CUTLERY "Faden" Cutler y by Prutscher Otto Prutscher Designer 1920s Year of design Item "Faden" cutlery by Prutscher 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 D ES I G NER CUTLERY Haerdtl Cutler y Oswald Haerdtl Designer 1956 Year of design Item Haerdtl cutlery Item no. BD-192 ItemItem no.

Inspired by the light-heartedness of the Italian 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. 12 D ES I G NER CUTLERY Name des "Cutt" Cutler Produktes y Thomas Feichtner Designer 2006 Year of design Item "Cutt" cutlery Item no.

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. 13 CLA SS IC CUTLERY "Schönbrunn" Archive Designer Undated Year of design Item "Schönbrunn" cutlery Item no.

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 throughout the world. 16 CLA SS IC CUTLERY Name des Produktes "Mirabell" Archive Designer Undated Year of design Item "Mirabell" cutlery Item no.

The romance of this story is reflected in the "Mirabell" pattern. With trefoil ends to the handles and encircling grooves, it borrows from the sensuous lines of the Baroque. 17 CLA SS IC CUTLERY "Geigenkasten" Archive Designer Undated Year of design Item "Geigenkasten" cutlery Item no.

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. 18 CLA SS IC CUTLERY "Wiener Wamperl" Archive Designer Undated Year of design Item "Wiener Wamperl" cutlery Item no.

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 Biedermeier 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 CLA SS IC CUTLERY "Eselsrücken" Archive Designer Undated Year of design Item "Eselsrücken" cutlery Item no.

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. 20 CUTLERY Cutler y 30 25 20 15 10 5 cm Dinner spoon / fork / knife Dessert spoon / fork / knife Bouillon spoon Fruit fork / knife Coffee / tea spoon Mocca spoon Pastry fork Potato serving spoon Salad serving spoon / fork Roast fork / spoon Rice spoon 30 25 20 15 10 5 cm Fish serving fork / knife Fish fork / knife Cheese / Butter knife Cold meat fork Long drink spoon Ice cream serving spoon Ice cream spoon Fruit spoon Butter knife small Crab fork / knife Cake server Porridge spoon / pusher Infant fork / knife 30 25 20 15 10 5 cm Sugar tongs / spoon Sandwich server / serving fork Gravy ladle, small Milk laddle Asparagus serving tongs Soup ladle, small / large Carving fork / knife Spice spoon Pastry tongs Tea strainer Lemon fork Serving cutlery is available for all Wiener Silber Manufactur cutlery sets.

Instead, it is a sophisticated interplay of internal and external surfaces. It appears 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. 88 MO D ERN D ES I G N "Cutt" Cutler y Set Thomas Feichtner Designer 2006 Year of design Item "Cutt" cutlery set Item no.

It marked a revolution 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. 103 h o ffm a n n Asparagus Ser ving Tongs No. 135 Josef Hoffmann Designer 1902 Year of design Item Asparagus serving tongs No. 135 Item no.

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. 110 d es i g n e r S 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 Movement, 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. 111 d es i g n e r S Otto Prutscher OTTO PRUTSCHER (Vienna 1880–1949) Otto Prutscher, a student of Josef Hoffmann, was one of the most influential personalities in early 20 th 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. 112 d es i g n e r S 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. 113 d es i g n e r S Thomas Feichtner THOMAS FEICHTNER Thomas Feichtner (born in 1970) has won various international design awards such as the IF Design Award, the Swiss Design Prize, the German Design Prize, the red dot design award, the European Design Award and the Josef Binder Award. His work focuses on artistic aspects and takes an experimental approach. Feichtner designs products for traditional crafters but always tries to look at things from an unconventional perspective. Wiener Silber Manufactur produces his "Cutt" cutlery. 114 d es i g n e r S Sebastian Menschhorn SEBASTIAN MENSCHHORN Sebastian Menschhorn (born in 1971) studied under Paulo Piva and Toshiyuki Kita at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. With a profound knowledge of the history of culture and art he translates patterns, forms and functions into design objects and graphics. His contemporary, yet timeless designs are thus rooted in history but nevertheless tell new stories. 115 d es i g n e r S Rainer Scharf RAINER SCHARF Rainer Scharf (born 1970) opened his studio 24hdesign in Vienna in 2003. He was Senior Designer at Philips Design and worked for Audi and KTM . Rainer Scharf lives in London and designs consumer electronics and furniture, as well as interiors for airlines and shops for the design studio forpeople. For Wiener Silber Manufactur he designed the Turkish coffee pot "Cezve", a contribution to the WIEN PRODUCTS Collection 2010. 116 d es i g n e r S Tino Valentinitsch TINO VALENTINITSCH Tino Valentinitsch (born in 1972) studied industrial design in Essen, Germany. During his studies he worked in Milan for Aldo Cibic, co-founder of "Memphis", and drew designs for Koziol. In addition to his work for the avant-garde sportswear label Y-3 he has also designed perfume bottles for Versace, as well as shoes, bags and home accessories for Helmut Lang. Since he has been working for the New York-based agency Pandiscio Co., Tino Valentinitsch focuses on the fields of luxury products and brand design. He creates brands, designs furniture, consumer goods and packaging, as well as interiors and exhibitions. For Wiener Silber Manufactur, Tino Valentinitsch designed the "Lockenschale" ("Curls Bowl") in 2011. 117 d es i g n e r S Claesson, Koivisto, Rune MåRTEN CLAESSON, EERO KOIVISTO, OLA RUNE Since 1995, Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune have been working under a joint Stockholm-based label. In addition to their architectural projects they produce designs for manufacturers such as Cappellini and iittala. The Vindobona series, which was a joint project with Wiener Silber Manufactur and glass producer J. & L. Lobmeyr, was presented on the occasion of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2010. The trio has received numerous awards and honors. For instance, they were the first Swedish architects to be shown in the international category at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2004). 118 d es i g n e r S 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. We produce his "Frame" tray, designed for the WIEN PRODUCTS Collection 2011. 119 d es i g n e r S Tomás Alonso Tomás Alonso Tomás Alonso, born in Vigo, Spain, in 1974, graduated from the Royal College of Art in London. In 2006 he co-founded the design collective OKAYstudio with five other recent graduates from the RCA . His work has been widely published and exhibited, from Aram Gallery or Whitechapel Gallery in London to exhibitions in Italy, Spain, France, Canada and Japan. His work is part of the permanent collection of the Design Museum in London. He has also received numerous international awards including the first prize in the Promosedia International Design Competition 2008 with his "chair No. 7". Our coorporation with Tomás Alonso for VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2011 yielded a wonderful silver tea service. 120 IMPRINT Executive partner: Georg Stradiot Art director: Dr Barbara Kamler-Wild Text: Dr Barbara Kamler-Wild, Irene Marenzi, Charlotte Pott-Pálffy, Reinhard Söbbing, Mag (FH) Eva Thiery-Metlewicz Edited by: Irene Marenzi, Charlotte Pott-Pálffy Concept, design and illustrations: Perndl+Co, Regula Widmer, Aleksandra Gustin, Claudette Hanzl Photos: Greg Dillon, Elwoods, Klaus Fritsch, Irina Gavrich, Renée del Messier, Klaus Pichler 121
