About the Item

Available today in NYC this Brazilian Modern Daybed in Hardwood & Black Leather, Carlo Hauner made in Brazil in the 50s is nothing less than spectacular! This rare daybed was designed by Carlo Hauner for Forma in the 1950s. It has a very sleek and modern design featuring a wood base and a leather upholstered seat cushion with bolster pillow. This sensuous yet minimal piece belonged to a private residence in Teresopolis, a city two hours away from Rio de Janeiro. The manufacture seal is underneath the wood structure. This gorgeous piece is displayed next to a Geraldo de Barros Credenza, armchairs and coffee table by Jorge Zalszupin and the convo looks nothing less than spectacular. About the designer: Carlo Hauner (1927-1997) and Martin Eisler (1913-1977) were the primary designers for the iconic Brazilian furniture company Forma. Their designs were characterized by their use of unusual materials such as steel, reed, and wicker, as well as their incorporation of Brazilian motifs and cultural influences. 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 in Brazil are highly designed and well-executed. The fantastic construction details are in the level of Joaquim Tenreiro, very distinctive of any production of the time in Brazil. The pair remained active in the industry until the early 1970s, leaving behind an enduring legacy in the world of modernist furniture design. .

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...
