Rare Lounge Chair by Carlo Hauner

A remarkable and highly collectible lounge chair attributed to Carlo Hauner, a designer celebrated for shaping the language of Brazilian modernism in the postwar era. He is best known for his collaboration with Martin Eisler, with whom he co-founded Forma, one of the most influential Brazilian furniture companies of the 1950s. Their work is characterized by: elegant, low-slung silhouettes use of Brazilian hardwoods + metal structures a mix of European modernism and Brazilian material warmth This piece captures that vision with exceptional presence. The sweeping wooden shell creates a fluid, sculptural profile, while the black leather upholstery and refined metal base add depth, contrast, and sophistication. Generous proportions and a deeply reclining form give the chair both visual lightness and remarkable comfort. A special piece for collectors and interiors that demand rarity, authorship, and enduring design significance.
