Sigmar is featured in ‘Stil/Fokus’ section of prestigious AD Magazine Germany with a three page feature.

The interview with Sigmar founders Ebba Thott and Nina Hertig highlights the versatility of the creative team as well as their love for all things vintage, and customising vintage pieces.

and style) we think Gregson’s images are as elegant as the Auböck objects themselves. Cereal’s article on the Fourth Generation Craftsman Carl Auböck traces the design history of the esteemed Viennese metal workshop, its affiliations with the likes of Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus and Charles Eames, and the ethos of Werkstätte Carl Auböck still going strong today. We liked and agree with the author’s observation that one of the qualities of Auböck design is the ‘gently humorous aesthetic’!
