This inkstand, designed by Josef Hoffmann, was produced by the Wiener Werkstätte only once. The transition from the geometric to Neoclassical style is apparent in its design, which anticipates the Post-modern aesthetic by decades.

Today, a silversmith spends over three months creating this desk piece for First Edition. Every square is painstakingly hand-cut from a sheet of silver and then seamlessly reassembled with millimeter precision.
