Zuccheriera Sugar Box

Nominee
Erwin Wurm brings his “Fat Car” on to the table for Wiener Silber Manufactur in the form of a “fat” sugar box, the “Zuccheriera” – a tongue-in-cheek reference to the famous Saliera by Cellini.The “Zuccheriera” is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the famous Saliera by Cellini. The sugar box is a valuable and imposing vessel with an ambivalent quality, made of pure silver, as much an objet d’art as a useful item.The “Zuccheriera” is exclusively hand-forged. Every detail, every projection and every indentation has been hammered out by the silversmith from a single silver plate, in high-precision fine work involving thousands of hammer blows. A production method that – in terms of the amount of work and expertise involved – comes very close to the method used to create the Saliera, and which is an expression of the highest achievement of the silversmith’s art.

Notes

One piece of this limited edition has been presented as a gift to the Museum for Applied Arts in Vienna, where it can be seen in the Design Collection.

The cooperation with the avant-garde of the Wiener Werkstätte (Viennese Workshops), such as Josef Hoffmann and Kolo Moser, defined the path the company would follow from 1900 onwards. Today it is our cooperation with internationally known artists and designers of the present time that determines the extraordinary and diverse product range of Wiener Silber Manufactur. Exclusive design, craftsmanship based on the methods of the traditional silversmiths’ art and very high-quality silver (940/000) guarantee peerless high-end products, extraordinary objects for offering to those who value true exclusivity.
