Carlo Hauner was a key figure in postwar European modernism, active in Italy and Brazil.

There, he met Martin Eisler, and together they founded "Forma," a creative workshop that would become the most important designer furniture company in Brazil and later open an office in Italy. Today, his works are considered among the finest expressions of international modernism, sought after by collectors and galleries for their timeless elegance.

In the early 1940s he directed the famous magazine "Domus" founded by his friend and colleague Gio Ponti.

After the second world war he realized his most important projects were the Axel Springer Building in Berlin and in 1957-59 the Galfa Tower in Milan, one of the first Italian skyscrapers of over 30 floors, recently restored.
