Designed by Carlo Hauner in the 1950s, this set of two armchairs with their corresponding stools reflects the designer’s refined approach to lightness and structural economy. Conceived within the context of early Brazilian modernism, the composition balances industrial clarity with the tactile warmth of handwoven material.
Each chair is articulated by a slender iron frame resting on four attenuated legs, establishing a precise architectural outline. The tall, slightly reclined backrest and gently curved seat are executed in tightly woven cane, creating a continuous surface that appears suspended within the metal armature. Wide, linear armrests extend forward in a measured gesture, reinforcing the chair’s horizontal emphasis while maintaining visual openness.
The accompanying stools mirror the same structural logic, their woven surfaces stretched across minimal iron supports. Together, the four pieces form a cohesive ensemble grounded in proportion and repetition.
The cane and steel remain in original condition, preserving the dialogue between natural fiber and industrial frame. The contrast between the warm, organic texture of the weaving and the restrained geometry of the iron underscores Hauner’s sensitivity to material interplay.
Originally conceived for outdoor use, the set’s clarity of line and sculptural lightness allow it to transition seamlessly into interior settings. An articulate example of mid-century Brazilian design, this ensemble embodies the balance of simplicity, structural precision, and material honesty central to Hauner’s work.
The Armchairs(Lot 232A) and Stools (Lot 851) can be purchased Separately should you wish.
