Magazine Rack in Copper and painted metal, Forma, 1950s - Lot 670

Creator: Martin Eisler & Carlo Hauner
Offered by: Found Collectibles

Description
This decorative magazine rack is a striking example of mid-century modern design, featuring a beautifully crafted hammered copper sling suspended within a sleek, minimalist black metal frame. The copper has a rich, dimpled texture achieved through traditional hammering techniques, giving it a handcrafted, artisanal quality that adds both visual and tactile interest. The warm, burnished tones of the copper contrast elegantly with the cool, industrial feel of the black metal, creating a balanced piece that is both functional and sculptural.

Originally designed in the 1950s by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler during their early collaboration at Forma Brazil, the piece reflects the studio’s innovative approach to modernist design. Forma was known for merging European modernism with Brazilian materials and craftsmanship, and this magazine rack is a perfect embodiment of that ethos. Ideal for organizing magazines, newspapers, or books, it brings a refined, vintage charm to any living room or office space.
