Alfred Habermann: Blacksmith & Designer

Alfred Haberman was a blacksmith legend with an explorer mentality and a master of modern design.Traditionally trained he used traditional smithing techniques to create large iron work with heavy textures. Habermann was a paragon of a “restless mind.” It was his explorer mentality that drove this blacksmith born in the Bohemian town of Iglau out into the world – with open eyes and a healthy portion of inquisitiveness for everything that could be designed, especially for those things made of metal. It was metal that he had been designing from his very early years, and the metal – primarily iron – which shaped him. His modest way and quiet nature made him a resting place in our fast world. In his presence you calmed down and when he started talking you simply had to take time to listen.
