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

Description
Available now, this Mid-Century Modern set of four dining chairs in hardwood and beige linen designed by Carlo Hauner is nothing less than spectacular!

This delicate set is made of old Brazilian Rosewood, known as Jacaranda and beige linen. The chair structure has four long legs and five wood stripes in a tall backrest.

As it happens with old Jacaranda, the wood has aged beautifully, showcasing brown & yellowish veins on every chair giving the impression of levity. The pieces have been refinished and besides the marks of age, which give a lot of character to the pieces, they are in excellent condition.

This gorgeous set is effortlessly chic, and its sleek shape can blend into almost any type of contemporary, Mid-Century Modern, boho chic, or modern environment. Equally as comfortable as beautiful, this set will add a touch of Mid-Century Modern swagger to any home!

Carlo Hauner (1927-1997) and Martin Eisler (1913-1977) were the primary designers for the iconic Brazilian furniture company Forma. They are most known for well-shaped armchairs made in iron, but the production is far more complex, handcrafted, and extensive. The wood pieces produced by Forma Móveis e Objetos de Arte during 1950 & 1960s in Brazil is highly designed and well-executed.

About Brazilian rosewood, also called Jacaranda, is perhaps one of the most beautiful woods in the world. It is regarded as one of the finest tone woods; hard, stiff, and highly resonant with a glass-like ring that sustains; it has a floral scent, like roses, thus the name.

However, extensive overlogging over the past three centuries has virtually eliminated this tree from the Brazilian forests, so that today it is not supposed to be logged. The only Material that can be sold legally is old stock. By owning a vintage piece made of old Jacaranda, you’re not only getting a beautiful collectible but also helping this species to recuperate.
