Werkstätte Carl Auböck
Werkstätte Carl Auböck
Werkstätte Carl Auböck is a multigenerational Viennese design workshop. Karl Heinrich Auböck, also known as Carl Auböck I (1872–1925), established the family metal workshop and became known for finely crafted bronze objects. Carl Auböck II (1900–1957) continued the workshop and introduced modernist ideas informed by his studies at the Bauhaus, while Carl Auböck III (1924–1993), an architect and industrial designer, expanded its design vocabulary and international orientation. Across these generations, the workshop developed a distinctive body of functional objects characterized by precise craftsmanship, inventive use of materials and understated wit.
Original Carl Aubock Walnut Tree Trunk Coffee Sofa Table, Vienna, 1950s

€6.935
An authentic vintage sculptural „Baumtisch“ tree trunk table from the 1950s, designed and crafted by Carl Auböck II. This unusual minimalist piece is made from a walnut wood slab with a polished tabletop that highlights rich and deep natural grain. The underside is blackened, and the table stands on three outspread brass legs with the original black rubber feet. In reality, the table appears far more monumental and sculptural than it does in the photographs. The tabletop is crafted from a truly beautiful, massive and thick, organically shaped piece of walnut trunk. Its rather rounded, compact form makes it suitable for a variety of uses—it works perfectly as a coffee or sofa table, but also as a side table, occasional table, or even a plant or flower stand. The table remains in its original, unrestored state and is in very good condition. A truly unique, one-of-a-kind piece. Width: 26” Depth: 25” Height: 18”
