Edition “Hearts”
Design by Ted Muehling
Produced by Wiener silber manufactur
Wiener Silber Manufactur’s history goes back more than 130 years. Founded in 1882, it became a partner to some of the main players in the Wiener Werkstaette. Today, it is the collaboration with international contemporary artists and designers that determines the extraordinary product range of Wiener Silber Manufactur. Exclusive design, craftsmanship based on the methods of the traditional silversmiths’ art and high-quality silver guarantee extraordinary objects for those who value exclusivity.
Designer Ted Muehling (USA) designs sensual objects that are inspired by natural shapes. He abstracts the multi-faceted shapes found in nature and turns organic structures such as exotic seed capsules, long-stemmed branches and gently curved leaves into objects for everyday use. Muehling created spice dishes and a range of vases and candleholders for Wiener Silber Manufactur. The traces of the hammer blow correspond to Muehling’s desire to emphasise the living, growing and organic qualities of objects that have been produced by hand.
