Brazilian Modern Credenza in Caviuna Hardwood by Forma Moveis, 1960’s, Brazil

About the Item

Available today, this magnificent Mid-Century Modern Credenza in Caviuna Hardwood designed by Forma Moveis in Brazil during the sixties decade is absolutely gorgeous! The piece is entirely made of Caviuna hardwood and features five doors with brass finishes, eight compartments and four drawers resting on four hardwood legs. The piece has been carefully refinished and besides the marks of age the piece is in excellent condition. This effortlessly sleek buffet can blend into almost any type of contemporary, mid-century modern, boho chic, or modern environment. A beautiful piece like this, will add a touch of mid-century modern swagger to any home! Carlo Hauner (1927-1997) and Martin Eisler (1913-1977) 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 & 1960’s in Brazil are highly designed and well-executed. Their narrative spans four countries (Italy, Austria, Brazil, and Argentina) and several decades and their exceptional works are already highly sought-after examples of the vibrant modern design movement in Latin America.

  • Brazilian Modern Credenza in Hardwood & Brass finish, Jean Gillon, 1960s
    By Jean Gillon
    Located in New York, NY
    Available today, this Mid-Century Modern Credenza in Hardwood with Brass finishes designed by Jean Gillon in the sixties in Brazil is the FIND of the year. The credenza has a rectangular structure made of Brazilian Rosewood, known as Jacaranda, with two main legs and two support legs on each side. It has five large drawers and four doors with shelves inside. The brass finishes are located in the joints, fringes and keys. There are few reasons why this credenza is one-of-a-kind: First, the high end wood work. This piece was commissioned for a private residence in Sao Paulo and it shows. The joints, the wood carving, the smooth curves in the drawers, even the hidden toothpick support legs are superbly finished. Second, the rosewood is of the finest quality which can be seen in the wood veins, the grain and smoothness of the wood. Lastly, design. This piece has all the components of a true Brazilian Modern piece with straight almost brutalist silhouettes softened with smooth curves (seen in the drawers and edges) that resemble Modernist architecture from Brasilia of the sixties. Owning a Jean Gillon piece like this is not just about acquiring a beautiful piece of furniture; it's also about possessing a part of Brazilian design history and culture. This credenza is a testament to Jean Gillon’s creativity and vision, and it would make an excellent addition to any interior space that values and appreciates the significance of this design. The credenza is showcased in our showroom next to Jorge Zalszupin’s bar cart...
