Brazilian Modern Armchairs & Stools Set in Cane & Iron Att. Carlo Hauner, 1950s

About the Item

Available today, this spectacular set of two Mid-Century Modern armchairs with stools in cane and iron attributed to Carlo Hauner is nothing less than gorgeous. The armchairs feature a steel structure with four legs, tall backrest, curved seat and wide armrests with caning finish. Each armchair comes with a stool. The four pieces are sold as a set. The cane and steel are in the original condition and look awesome together. The set was designed in the fifties as outdoor furniture but a sculptural set as this could equally look great indoors. The set is showcased in our gallery next to Willy Guhl flower pot and the convo looks stellar. This midcentury gem would look great in any Mid-Century Modern, or postmodern type environment and the iconic design and Size will make this desk an absolute must in everyone’s mid modern century collection. The design is attributed to Carlo Hauner (1927-1997) and Martin Eisler (1913-1977) who were the primary designers for the iconic Brazilian furniture company Forma. They are most known for well-shaped armchairs made in iron, but the production is far more complex, handcrafted, and extensive. The wood pieces produced by Forma Móveis e Objetos de Arte during 1950 & 1960s in Brazil are highly designed and well-executed.

Brazilian Modern Armchairs in Fabric, Hardwood & Metal, Carlo Hauner, 1950s
By Carlo Hauner
Located in New York, NY
Available now, this Mid-Century Modern armchair set in velvet, Hardwood & Steel designed by Carlo Hauner in the fifties is perfect! This gorgeous set features a steel structure painted in black and a seat & body backrest in new gray velvet upholstery with three buttons and delicate Brazilian Rosewood (known as Jacaranda) arms. The restoration of the set took a few months because when I bought it the armchairs didn't have the Jacaranda arms, and every collector knows that the value of a piece is on the integrity of the piece, meaning original pieces and method. Finding Hauner’s wood arms took me to many antique markets until two months after I found the wood arms in a shop specialized in vintage furniture in Rio de Janeiro’s city center. Now the piece is complete! These armchairs are so awesome that we’ve paired them in the gallery with other pieces and are always spectacular. The first furniture set showcases the armchairs with Scapinelli’s famous Acqua coffee table and Jorge Zalszupin Pullman sofa. The second image has the set next to Celina Decoracoes four seat sofa and a delicate Scapinelli coffee table. The third image has one armchair next to Sergio Rodrigues’s Sabara Rosewood trunk...
