Designer
A masterful example of Brazil’s golden era of design, this elegant sideboard was designed by the celebrated duo Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler, and produced by Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte in the 1950s. Their collaborative work represents the pinnacle of Brazilian mid-century modernism, where European sophistication met the expressive natural beauty of native materials.
This piece is distinguished by its exquisite rosewood veneer, featuring a stunning mirrored grain pattern that transforms the surface into a canvas of organic artistry. The professionally restored finish enhances the wood’s tonal richness, ensuring it not only maintains its historic integrity but is also preserved for future generations of collectors and connoisseurs.
The design is a harmonious blend of functionality and sculptural elegance, with two sliding doors concealing adjustable shelving and four drawers on the right-hand side for practical storage. The architectural form is grounded by solid rosewood legs that taper into pointed feet, a Hauner & Eisler signature that lends a refined and elevated posture to the piece.
What sets this sideboard apart is its attention to detail and rare construction, from the tipped drawer fronts to the seamless grain alignment, every element is crafted with a quiet sophistication that speaks to the values of post-war Brazilian modernism: integrity of materials, expressive restraint, and artisanal precision.
The use of indigenous rosewood is emblematic of Brazilian design at the time, readily available yet deeply respected, and now internationally protected, further increasing the rarity and value of original pieces like this.
In excellent restored condition, this sideboard is not only a functional and versatile piece of furniture but a valuable design investment, a timeless statement of Brazilian modern heritage that will elevate any interior, whether contemporary, eclectic, or mid-century inspired.
