Reversivel Armchair, Martin Eisler, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern, circa 1950
About the Item
Martin Eisler designed this sculptural armchair in 1955. This piece is considered one of the most iconic armchairs of Brazilian Modern Design. The uniqueness of this armchair lies in several qualities. First, the form itself; provocative, architectural, and ludic, inviting the user to a unique experience: to find yourself different “ways to seat.”
Second, the vanguard value of the design. If we put side by side the international production of the 1950s chairs, we will see the straight lines of rationalism and functionalism. Eisler also sought for the user experience, the complex relations between furniture and our home day livin.
The big moving seat rests over an iron frame structure that combines visual lightness and stability, evidenced by the brass feet that touches the ground.
For this piece, the original state of the iron frame has been kept original, with a new uopholstery following historical references. The fabric is made of gorgeous 100% Organic Silk, from our collection Bossa Fabrics.

- Customizable Tacchini Reversível Armchair Designed by Martin EislerBy Tacchini, Martin EislerLocated in New York, NYFruit of the creative genius of the architect and designer Martin Eisler, Reversível is an historic piece of Carioca design, and Tacchini fell in love with its incredibly innovative style. With the simplicity of its lines and movement, this armchair transforms with casual elegance. The dynamic, flexible reissue of Reversível offers dual comfort with two possible seat positions, to sit in the chair with the back upright, or really relax in a semi-reclining position, parallel with the backrest. The simple, natural movement makes it seem an obvious solution, but it actually represents as ground-breaking an intuition now as then. This original, informal seat with its distinctive lines is completed with a metal structure and fabric coverings. Reversível bears witness to the soft, sensuality of Brazilian 1950s design, a combination of tradition and creativity, folk craft and visionary innovation. To celebrate the rebirth of the iconic Reversível armchair in the brand new Classics...Category
