About the Item

This desk was designed between 1950 and 1953 and stood out within the production of Hauner and Eisler's Móveis Artesanal. The desk has an iron structure with a top in Pau-marfim wood and painted-black glass tops, with two drawers and a shelf. The straightforward construction makes this piece easy to manufacture and store - fundamental characteristics for the intended industrial production at the time. In 1953, the desk appeared in a cover of "Brasil Moderno" (Modern Brazil) magazine, a bilingual publication from the mid-twentieth century that aimed to present Brazil's development to the English to attract investments and tourism. The piece presents an original manufacture stamp by Móveis Artesanal. The pioneer company created by Carlo Hauner in 1952 produced furniture with a rationalized design and followed the idea of industrial furniture – extremely functional and carrying an orthogonal design.
