EXCELLENT!
Creative in the future

The Wiener Silber Manufactur won the prize ‘Creative in the Future 2018’ of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce. The silver bowls ‘plain’ from Julez were premiered, which once more give testimony to the fruitful dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and innovative design.

Julia Obermüller (alias Julez) is a young talent in the world of Austrian designers. For the collaboration with the manufactory, she chose the technique of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. The result is a series of refined bowls that represents a new, interesting contribution to contemporary silversmithing.

The distinction followed the ‘MAECENAS’ prize for art sponsoring, which was awarded in autumn 2017 to Georg Stradiot, owner of the Wiener Silber Manufactur. This honoured his great commitment to reviving the art of Viennese silversmithing.
