Curve Letter Opener
Made by VAU
The Curve Letter Opener is a study in controlled tension. Its form traces a deliberate passage from a rectangular handle to a triangular blade, the two resolved by a single, characteristic curve that gives the piece its name.
VAU approaches functional objects as sculptural propositions. The interplay of sharp and smooth, geometric and fluid, is not incidental but considered, a way of asking what a utilitarian object can communicate about the hand that made it and the hand that holds it.
- Solid metal construction with a hand-polished finish
- Made to order in VAU's own workshop in Zagreb, Croatia
- Each piece produced individually, not in mass runs
Zagreb has quietly become a point of reference for a generation of designers working in metal with an emphasis on craft precision and conceptual economy. VAU is among its most distinctive voices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What metal is the VAU Curve Letter Opener made from?
The Curve Letter Opener is made from solid metal with a hand-polished finish. VAU does not use composite or plated materials, so the surface quality and weight reflect the full integrity of the material throughout.
How long does it take to receive a VAU made-to-order piece?
Because each VAU product is made to order in their Zagreb workshop, lead times are longer than stocked goods. It is best to confirm current production timelines at the point of purchase, as they can vary by season and demand.
Where are VAU products designed and manufactured?
VAU designs and manufactures its pieces in Zagreb, Croatia. Production happens within the studio's own workshop, which means the brand maintains direct oversight of craft quality from raw material to finished object.
Is the Curve Letter Opener suitable as a gift or collector's object?
Given its hand-polished finish and made-to-order production, the Curve Letter Opener functions well as a considered desk object or gift for someone with a discerning eye for craftsmanship and form.
How should a hand-polished metal object like this be maintained?
A soft, dry or lightly dampened cloth is generally sufficient for maintaining a hand-polished metal surface. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, which can alter the finish over time.
