The Wiener Silber Manufactur has a repertoire of table silver encompassing almost two centuries, offering handcrafted precision and, what is more, an alloy with increased silver content for a more sustained brilliance. When visiting the workshop, the Swiss design studio BIG-GAME was particularly impressed by the hammer techniques, especially the “martelé” hammered surface structure, sometimes finer, sometimes more rustic. The primarily decorative aspect of table silver is now re-interpreted by BIG-GAME – the hammered surfaces do indeed have a tell-tale affinity to industrial lamp reflectors and light sources. A table lamp series is developed that equally exploits the surface aesthetics and the specific light effects achieved with martelé.
