Dining Table in Caviuna and Cane Weaving by Martin Eisler, Brazil Modern, 1950s

About the Item

This is the rare and extremely sought after dining table with cane top, by Austrian-Brazilian designer Martin Eisler in the early to mid 1950s. Eisler was seduced by the simplicity and results of using cane weaves on his furniture design, and the table top on this design was the epitome of this beautiful relation. The overall design of this table is the perfect synthesis of Brazilian Modern Design beyond the most classic pieces. Produced in Caviuna, an exotic hardwood that rivals Rosewood in beauty and technical qualities, this table seats 6 with great space, and 8 whenever needed. The chairs in the pictures are already sold. Eisler was born in Austria and after the war moved to Argentina. It was almost by chance that he arrived in São Paulo after a few years and ended up staying. Not only a great design, he was also responsible for making the company Forma thrive and grow through the 1960s and 1970s.
