Stone with Leather Cover
by Carl Auböck
£270.00 Add To Basket
The stone with leather cover is one part of 'The Gropius Set' and has been produced in Vienna by the Carl Auböck workshop. Collected from the banks of the Danube where Carl II first collected them in the 1940's, each one is chosen on appearance, taking into account texture and form, they then cut a piece of genuine leather to size and stitch it on. Each one is embossed with the Auböck logo. A nice compliment to any creatives desk, both functional and quirky.

Note: The stone may slightly differ from the photos seen here, as they're all individual and unique.
