Expandable Caviuna Dining Table by Hauner Eisler, Brazil, circa 1955

Creator: Martin Eisler & Carlo Hauner
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Designed by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler in Brazil around 1955, this expandable dining table (up to 160cm) reflects the sophisticated clarity of mid-century Brazilian modernism. Crafted in richly grained Caviuna wood, often associated with Brazilian rosewood, the table balances between structural precision and material expressiveness. Hauner and Eisler, known for their influential role in shaping post-war design in Brazil through Forma and Móveis Artesanal, frequently explored adaptable forms suited to evolving domestic environments, as seen in this elegant extension mechanism.

The table’s restrained geometry allows the depth and tonal variation of the Caviuna to take prominence, while its expandable function enhances its practicality without compromising its sculptural integrity. Rooted in Brazilian modernism, the piece reflects a refined synthesis of international design principles and local craftsmanship traditions.
