About the Item

In the landscape of mid-century modern furniture, the collaborative genius of Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler shines through in the lounge chair and ottoman set that exemplifies the Brazilian interpretation of the style. This particular set, with its vibrant teal upholstery and fluid lines, is a testament to the innovative spirit that defined the mid-20th century Brazilian modernist movement. The chair itself is characterized by a generous, embracing backrest that curves to form armrests in a single, sweeping gesture. This fluidity of design is quintessential to the Brazilian mid-century modern style, where the seamless transition between elements of a piece mirrors the organic contours found in nature. The backrest provides not just visual interest but ergonomic support, inviting relaxation and comfort. The seat cushion, thick and plush, promises comfort without sacrificing style, and is complemented by a matching ottoman. This pairing speaks to the era’s emphasis on functional comfort, where design served to enhance the lived experience. The ottoman, with its simple cylindrical form, continues the theme of unadorned elegance while providing a versatile rest for weary feet. Adorning the edges of the chair is a line of contrasting piping, a detail that adds a touch of bespoke craftsmanship to the piece. The legs, slender and slightly splayed, are crafted from wood, their tapering form and warm tone adding a natural element that contrasts with the cool blue of the upholstery. Hauner and Eisler’s design reflects the synthesis of form and function that is the hallmark of mid-century modern furniture. The chair and ottoman set is not just a seating arrangement but a statement of design ethos. It embodies the contemporary desire for furniture that fits the human body as well as it fits the modern home, with an aesthetic that is at once timeless and evocative of a specific historical moment. In a broader sense, this set is a representation of the designers’ ability to blend European modernist influences with the cultural vibrancy of Brazil. The result is a piece that is both a nod to the traditions of the past and a forward-looking creation, one that would feel as at home in a contemporary setting as it would among the mid-century modernist milieu. It is this timelessness, paired with a clear cultural identity, that makes the work of Hauner and Eisler not just relevant but celebrated in the realm of design today. About the designers: Carlo Hauner: Carlo Hauner was an Italian-born designer who played a significant role in shaping Brazilian modernist design. He was born in 1927 in Brescia, Italy, and initially studied painting, but his creative pursuits would eventually span into the realms of design, ceramics, and textiles. His early work in Italy included studying at the Brera Academy in Milan, where he honed his skills in technical drawing and design. Hauner is perhaps best known for his partnership with Martin Eisler in creating the iconic furniture company Forma. Together, they introduced a range of furniture that was characterized by its modern aesthetics and an innovative approach to traditional Brazilian craftsmanship and materials. Their work was a fusion of European modernist influences and Brazilian styles, contributing to a distinct genre of mid-century modern design. While his partnership with Eisler was profoundly influential, Hauner's individual contribution to design was also significant. He led the design department at Móveis Artesanal, a furniture company where he created pieces that were not only functional but also artistically driven. Hauner's designs often featured clean lines, organic forms, and a harmonious blend of materials, reflecting the modernist ethos of form following function. Throughout his career, Hauner's work was not confined to furniture alone. He also explored ceramics and textiles, showcasing his versatility and commitment to design across various mediums. His aesthetic sensibility and innovative designs have left a lasting legacy and continue to be celebrated and sought after in the design world. Martin Eisler: Martin Eisler was an influential figure in mid-century modern furniture design, particularly within the Brazilian design movement. Born in Vienna, Austria, in 1913, Eisler was part of a generation of European architects and designers whose work and lives were profoundly affected by the upheaval of the Second World War. His father was the art historian Max Eisler, a founding member of the Austrian Werkbund, which likely influenced Eisler's early exposure to design and architecture. It was in Brazil that Eisler's design sensibilities fully blossomed. He met Carlo Hauner, with whom he would form a formidable partnership, founding the iconic Brazilian furniture company Forma. Their designs are celebrated for integrating Brazilian materials and craftsmanship with modernist design principles, creating furniture that was both accessible and aesthetically sophisticated. Eisler's furniture designs, such as the Reversível and Costela chairs, are lauded for their innovative use of materials and form. His work often featured Brazilian woods and thin tubular frames, showcasing a finesse in blending structure with visual lightness. The collaboration between Eisler and Hauner was marked by a shared vision that helped define Brazilian mid-century modern design, making it distinctive and sought after globally.
