Vintage Credenza in Caviuna Wood, Martin Eisler, circa 1954 Brazilian Midcentury

About the Item

This Caviuna Credenza was designed by Martin Eisler (1913-1977) for Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte in the 1950s. This furniture typology was very common at the period, appearing in several interior projects published in the most known design and lifestyle magazines. The credenzas are traditionally used in the dining rooms for storage and displaying serving drinks and dishes, but this incredible piece is much more than a functional design. Extraordinarily complex and hand-crafted, the wood pieces produced by Forma Móveis e Objetos de Arte in Brazil in the 1950s have unique construction details, very distinctive of any production of the time in Brazil. This credenza touches the ground at a minimum, with delicate feet. The piece is composed of two-door compartments with sliding doors and four carefully made drawers without handles – the design allows it to be pulled from the angled bottom. Wood restoration services are included in the acquisition price. The deadline for carrying out the procedures varies according to each case. Please let us know what you need, and we will find the best way to attend to you.
