The design balances an expressive, handwoven wicker shell with a slender steel structure, creating a striking interplay of organic texture, fluid form and architectural precision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe chaise’s elongated silhouette is defined by its gently reclining profile and continuous woven surface, which curves around the body while preserving a sense of visual lightness. The open wicker construction reveals the clarity of the framework beneath, while the extended armrests and elevated base give the piece a dynamic, almost suspended presence.

The warm tobacco-brown color carries nuanced caramel undertones and responds beautifully to changes in light without appearing glossy. The tailored cushion construction combines supportive high-resilience foam with a soft wool wrap, producing a comfortable, gently crowned profile. Horizontal channels articulate the upholstery while complementing the linear rhythm of the wicker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew custom-made brass sabots finish the legs, adding a refined metallic accent while protecting wood and stone floors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA sophisticated example of postwar Brazilian design, this chaise unites traditional natural materials with the formal experimentation and elegant modernity associated with Carlo Hauner’s work in Brazil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Found Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52913777869087,"sku":"1003","price":21000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/9645\/0847\/files\/71.png?v=1790099164","url":"https:\/\/foundcollectibles.com\/products\/brazilian-modern-sculptural-chaise-in-wicker-mohair-steel-and-brass-att-carlo-hauner-brazil-1950s-lot-1003","provider":"Found Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
