The Italian designer Carlo Hauner (1927 – 1997) originally studied as a painter. In 1948 he moved to Brazil and dedicated himself to design, ceramics, and textiles, forging a successful partnership with Martin Eisler in 1953. Their partnership was short lived as Hauner moved back to Italy in 1958, but Forma’s legacy was to become one of the great design initiatives of South America.
