In an interplay between traditional handicraft and historical ambience, the goldsmith concern of NIKL set up its open workshop in the lobby of the Vienna Grand Hotel and demonstrated the handcrafted production of the Viennese Ring – a special collection by the family manufacturing firm, which was designed in partnership with the designer Siegfried Baumgartner for the Ringstraße anniversary. Filing, grinding, polishing, all the work steps were shown and enlivened with stories from the everyday life of a Viennese goldsmith.
