About the Item

This pair of lounge chairs designed by Martin Eisler showcase the mid-century modern Brazilian style with a classic yet innovative design that harmonizes form and function. These pieces, from the 1950s or 1960s, feature a boxy yet streamlined silhouette that is typical of Eisler's design aesthetic. The frame is not visible, what suggests a focus on the upholstery, which wraps around the entire form, providing a seamless and cohesive look. The upholstery is a textured fabric in a neutral shade, chosen for its tactile appeal and ability to blend with various interiors. The texture adds depth and interest to the chairs, while the light color reflects the modernist preference for bright, airy spaces. The armrests are integrated into the overall shape, emphasizing horizontal lines and creating a sense of continuity. They are generously padded for comfort, just like the seat and backrest, which are also amply cushioned, inviting relaxation. The chairs are supported by tapered legs, a signature element in mid-century furniture design, which often incorporated elements from classical furniture styles into a new context. The legs are finished with brass tips, which add a touch of elegance and contrast to the darker wood and the light fabric. Martin Eisler's designs are known for their elegance and functional comfort, and these armchairs are no exception. They embody the sophisticated informality that was a hallmark of mid-century modern Brazilian furniture, making them as appealing today as they were when they were first created. About the designer: Martin Eisler was an influential figure in mid-century modern furniture design, particularly within the Brazilian design movement. Born in Vienna, Austria, in 1913, Eisler was part of a generation of European architects and designers whose work and lives were profoundly affected by the upheaval of the Second World War. His father was the art historian Max Eisler, a founding member of the Austrian Werkbund, which likely influenced Eisler's early exposure to design and architecture. It was in Brazil that Eisler's design sensibilities fully blossomed. He met Carlo Hauner, with whom he would form a formidable partnership, founding the iconic Brazilian furniture company Forma. Their designs are celebrated for integrating Brazilian materials and craftsmanship with modernist design principles, creating furniture that was both accessible and aesthetically sophisticated. Eisler's furniture designs, such as the Reversível and Costela chairs, are lauded for their innovative use of materials and form. His work often featured Brazilian woods and thin tubular frames, showcasing a finesse in blending structure with visual lightness. The collaboration between Eisler and Hauner was marked by a shared vision that helped define Brazilian mid-century modern design, making it distinctive and sought after globally.
