Wicker and Iron Armchair, Unknown Designer, Brazilian Midcentury Modern, c. 1955
About the Item
This armchair is a free inspiration in one of the most iconic pieces designed by Martin Eisler (1913-1977) and produced by Móveis Artesanal and Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte in the 1950s.
The original design was shown on a cover of a Casa e Jardim magazine from 1956, displaying the armchairs in an outdoor space with a pool view. The iron structures in the seating furniture became one of the companies' signatures and soon spread as a tendency.
This armchair with unknown attribution curated by Bossa has similarities with the one created by the renowned Eisler, but it isn't an original. We internally classify it as "period copy": a term to designate vintage designs produced in the same period as the originals but not by the actual manufacturing companies. These pieces have been confounding the market since then, and taking a better look at these particular cases is essential.
Following the original design by Eisler, this armchair features an extremely reclined, comfortable seat made of a loose wicker basket. It is not difficult to understand why this sculptural furniture piece aroused so much interest at the time.

- Vintage Rosewood Armchair by Celina Decorações, Brazilian Midcentury, 1960sBy Celina DecoracoesLocated in New York, NYThis armchair is made of solid Brazilian Rosewood, with new upholstery in gorgeous suede leather. The armrests have a rectangular design with a back of vertical slats. This model features a delicate and still well-constructed use of this precious wood, which became very scarce with the passage of the years. This piece received new upholstery in soft nubuck leather, but its structure in solid Rosewood remais in original condition. Based in Rio de Janeiro, the Celina Decorações factory imposed high-quality standards, maintaining handcrafted characteristics. The company was created in 1951 when Munis Zilberberg takes over the family business - a small upholstery workshop that worked on refurbishing sofa beds and antique furniture. The name is a tribute to her mother, Celina Zilberberg...Category
