Rare Forma armchairs by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler, 1955

About the Item

This particular piece showcases a rare design crafted by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler for Forma in 1955. Though Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler are primarily known for their well-shaped iron armchairs, their production extends far beyond that. The pieces created by Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte during the 1950s and 1960s in Brazil are highly sophisticated, intricate, and skillfully hand-crafted. This armchair has achieved an iconic status and was even featured in some of the company's advertisements from the 1950s. Its structure is meticulously crafted from wood, and the upholstery has been renewed using exquisite nubuck leather with velvet details. The armchair's design boasts a remarkable side cutout between the arms and backrests, along with elegantly pointed caviuna wood feet.
