About the Item

Available today in NYC, this 11.5” Credenza in Hardwood by Carlo Hauner & Martin Eisler, Brazil, c. 1950 is nothing less than magnificent!

The wood has been refinished and reveals stunning veins throughout the entire piece. Besides, the marks of age the credenza is in excellent condition. The manufacturing seal is in the back of the credenza. This piece belonged to a private collection in Rio de Janeiro. The piece is displayed with an also Brazilian Modern armchair designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli and the convo looks northing less than spectacular. About the Authors: 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. .
