An exceptionally rare and stunning pair of low armchairs designed by Carlo Hauner and manufactured by Forma SA, Brazil, in the 1950s. These exquisite lounge chairs feature an abstract-shaped solid iron structure, finished in black, which elegantly supports a beautifully crafted rosewood frame. Viewed from the side, the wooden structure takes on a striking boomerang-like form, adding to the sculptural presence of the design.
The rosewood frame is securely fixed to the metal structure and is enhanced by natural leather straps, carefully redone to ensure durability and strength for the cushions. The seat and back cushions have been reupholstered in a refined sand-colored linen, staying true to the original design while providing a soft contrast to the bold structure. This harmonious interplay of materials; iron, rosewood, leather, and linen, elevates these chairs to an extraordinary level of craftsmanship and sophistication.
The solid hardwood arms and frame showcase rich, expressive wood grain, a hallmark of the finest Brazilian timber. This rare combination of form and materials makes these chairs not only a comfortable and elegant seating choice but also a true collector’s item. Their scarcity on the market further enhances their desirability, making them a prized acquisition for any connoisseur of Brazilian modernist design.
Fully restored and in impeccable condition, these chairs are ready to be enjoyed for many years to come; a testament to Hauner’s visionary craftsmanship and timeless design.
