He focused on redesigning existing products from the workshop, mostly in the then-current “Art Deco” style—such as decanters and lamps, as documented in the workshop’s early sales catalogs. Through active communication with American buyers, as well as European business partners, a steadily growing collection of objects emerged, tailored to the preferences of a middle-class yet modern clientele. This marked the beginning of a period of experimentation with and combinations of materials; their sophisticated application, brought into mass production over the next few years, became the defining feature of Carl Auböck’s workshop, though the influence of the Weimar Bauhaus remained evident.” I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
