A stunning and exceptionally comfortable pair of low lounge chairs designed by Carlo Hauner and manufactured by Forma Móveis, Brazil, in 1955. These exquisite chairs feature a beautifully shaped solid steel structure with a black-painted finish, supporting a newly upholstered shell seat in luxurious beige sand flat bouclé fabric. The organic, shell-like shape of the seat offers both elegance and ergonomic comfort, ensuring a truly relaxing seating experience.
A striking detail of these chairs is the solid hardwood armrests, which showcase a deep, rich color and a naturally expressive grain, adding warmth and refinement to the design. The black-painted metal frame, characteristic of Hauner’s work, balances aesthetics and functionality seamlessly. Originally repainted in white, we have carefully restored the frames to their intended black finish, preserving their authentic appearance. The brass feet serve as a distinctive and elegant touch, further emphasizing Hauner’s signature style.
The upholstery and foam are brand new, with soft and cozy down filling for ultimate comfort. These chairs have been fully restored while respecting their original design, and we have photographs of their original state available upon request. With their rare combination of sculptural beauty and luxurious comfort, this pair of lounge chairs is a remarkable example of Hauner’s timeless craftsmanship; an exceptional addition to any interior.
