Concha by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler, Brazilian Midcentury Design, 1953

About the Item

This armchair is a rare version of Concha, one of the most iconic pieces designed by Martin Eisler (1913-1977), with a single seat and backrests made with braided leather strips. "Concha" is the Portuguese word for "Shell" and the name is apparent in the design. The armchair was created in 1953 and produced by Móveis Artesanal and then Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte. The armchair features an extremely reclined and comfortable shell-shaped upholstered seat that fits the body. Eisler designed the iron feet so that, from the same structure, it is possible to obtain variations of the chair. Other pieces combined this iron structure with different seat types in shell shapes: upholstered, made of strings, or leather straps. The piece was first presented in the exhibition "Carlo Hauner, Martin Eisler and the modernization of furniture in Brazil" at the Museum of Fine Arts of São Paulo (MuBa) in São Paulo, Brazil. Piece in very good original condition.
