Rosewood Bookcase by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler, 1955, Brazilian Midcentury
About the Item
This bookshelf is a rare and elegant piece designed by Martin Eisler and produced by Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte in 1955. It presents a structure in Rosewood, with brass feet and supports.
The piece presents several storage compartments, with four cabinets in the bottom, niches, and a big cabinet in the center, internally coated by mirrors with glass shelves. It is an exquisite piece per se but also allows the user to exhibit objects in a very gracious way.
In 1955, the pioneer company Móveis Artesanal, founded by Carlo Hauner in partnership with Martin Eisler e Ernesto Wolf, changed the name to Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte. The purpose was to make the company more attractive to the business market, which was rapidly developing. Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Art manufactured a few icons of Brazilian design history, as the Costela Armchair designed by Eisler.
Like many other pieces of furniture designed by Hauner and Eisler, this bookshelf appeared in several advertisements and interior projects in the most prominent magazines of architecture, design, and lifestyle.
This piece is its original condition and presents a stamp from the manufacturer, Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte.
