About the Item

Designed by Carlo Hauner in the 1950s and produced by Forma, this elegant pair of stools exemplifies the lightness and structural clarity that defined Brazilian modernism in the postwar period. The design brings together hand-woven natural cane seats and slender blackened iron frames, creating a refined dialogue between organic materiality and industrial precision. The gently curved cane surfaces recall architectural cantilevers—appearing to float above the structure—while the thin iron legs function like columns, reducing the piece to its essential elements. This balance between openness and support mirrors the principles found in Brazilian modern architecture of the era, where transparency, airflow, and structural honesty were paramount. Hauner’s work consistently bridged European modernist rigor with Brazilian craftsmanship, and these stools are a clear expression of that synthesis. Lightweight yet sculptural, functional yet expressive, they embody the modernist pursuit of elegance through restraint. Equally suited as seating, accent pieces, or architectural objects within an interior, this pair stands as a quiet but confident statement of Brazilian design intelligence.
