Compact yet visually distinctive, their composition brings together the architectural clarity of the frame and the warmth of rosewood veneer, softened by generously cushioned velvet seats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach stool features an 18 × 18-inch base, with a rosewood-veneered plywood seat supported by slender black-painted metal legs and cross-bracing. The open framework gives the stools a light presence, allowing the grain and tonal variation of the rosewood to stand out. Above, a new three-inch-thick velvet cushion provides a particularly comfortable seat. A single central tuft draws the upholstery gently inward, adding depth to the otherwise restrained geometry, while ties beneath the seat secure the cushion without interrupting the design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis combination of materials recalls the furniture developed by Hauner in Brazil during the 1950s, particularly the work associated with his collaboration with Martin Eisler at Forma. Their designs brought slender metal structures into dialogue with Brazilian woods and upholstered elements, combining modern production methods with a strong appreciation for material and craftsmanship. These stools reflect that vocabulary: economical in structure, warm in expression and attentive to everyday comfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wood has been restored to reveal the depth and character of the rosewood veneer. The metal remains in good vintage condition, retaining age-related wear, while the velvet cushions are newly made. This considered balance of restoration and preservation maintains the pair’s vintage character while renewing the seating surfaces for use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVersatile as occasional seating or footstools, the pair offers a compact expression of Brazilian mid-century design, with each material contributing distinctly to its form, texture and comfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Found Collectibles 2","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53080944804127,"sku":"832C","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/9645\/0847\/files\/Twinrosewoodstoolsonwhite.png?v=1792517036","url":"https:\/\/foundcollectibles.com\/products\/brazilian-modern-pair-of-stools-in-rosewood-veneer-metal-and-velvet-attributed-to-carlo-hauner-1950s-lot-832c","provider":"Found Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
