Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner "Costela" Lounge Chair, Brazil, 1953
About the Item
The Costela armchair is an iconic Brazilian Mid-Century Modern piece. It was designed by Martin Eisler (1913 - 1977) in 1953 and manufactured by the companies Móveis Artesanal and Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte, where he was partner and co-founder.
The name "Costela", which translates as "Rib", is apparent in the design with its eight wooden slats that resemble a rib structure made with Brazilian hardwood. The slats are rhythmically positioned and curve upwards on the sides, gently embracing the softly padded cushions. A curved steel frame with short legs creates the necessary support. The comfortable cushions are tufted with buttons, and kept in place by tied strings at the back and bottom.
