Credenza in Solid Caviúna Hardwood by Forma, Brazilian Modern, 1960s – Lot 136

Description

This refined Brazilian Modern credenza was produced in the 1960s by Forma, a leading manufacturer associated with the maturation of modern furniture production in Brazil. Executed entirely in solid caviúna hardwood, the piece presents a confident architectural volume, distinguished by the wood’s deep coloration and expressive, linear grain. The façade is composed of five cleanly articulated doors with discreet brass pulls, opening to reveal a thoughtfully organized interior of eight compartments and four drawers—an arrangement that balances visual restraint with generous storage capacity. Elevated on four sculptural hardwood legs, the credenza maintains a light, floating presence despite its substantial proportions. Recently refinished, the surface has been carefully restored to highlight the natural character of the caviúna while preserving subtle signs of age consistent with its period, reinforcing its authenticity. Elegant yet highly functional, this credenza exemplifies the disciplined material language and quiet sophistication that define Brazilian Modernism at its best. Ideal for dining rooms, living spaces, or design-forward commercial interiors.
