In the 1950s, as Brazilian cities expanded and urban life became increasingly vertical, there emerged a need for adaptable furniture that could optimize domestic spaces without sacrificing elegance.
Crafted in solid caviuna (Brazilian rosewood) with a veneered top, the table seats four and expands to accommodate six. The clever extension mechanism allows the side leaves to slide smoothly from beneath the main top — a functional and refined solution that exemplifies Forma’s modernist ingenuity.
A striking expression of mid-century Brazilian design, this table blends functionality, sophistication, and architectural clarity, hallmarks of Hauner and Eisler’s enduring legacy.
