Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler Rare bench - 1950s Italian Scandinavian Design

About the Item

This delicate bench with a suspended seat on leather or fabric strips and a thick fabric cushion is accompanied by a section that functions as a tabletop. The overall structure is wood, with tubular metal supports. The forms thus trace the better-known bench with backrest by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler that also appeared on a Forma catalog cover in 1950, but, unlike this one, it retains only the lines of the seat and supports and fits into the same production line. This is an elegant and unobtrusive piece of furniture with small dimensions but great versatility. An essential and decorative element ready to be included in a home with refined lines. The cushion fabric is newly renewed.

    Located in New York, NY
    Designed by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler, modern Brazilian sofa, iron, and velvet. Brazil, circa 1950s. Shell or "Concha" sofa is made of iron and recently reupholstered in yellow velvet by the experienced craftsmen in our team.
