Large Sideboard in Wood and Iron, by Martin Eisler, Mid-Century Brazilian Design

About the Item

This wooden sideboard was designed by Martin Eisler. Martin Eisler was a key figure in Brazilian furniture design during the mid-20th century, known for his significant contributions to modern design. His work is often associated with a style that combines European modernism with Brazilian materials and sensibilities, which was part of a larger trend in Brazilian furniture design during the mid-20th century. The sideboard is a good example of Eisler’s work. It combines clean, modern lines with the warmth of wood, a material commonly used in Brazilian furniture from this period. The use of metal hairpin legs is also a design choice reflective of the era, blending both industrial and organic materials for a modern look. The sideboard has a streamlined, modernist design with a clear mid-century influence. This is evident in the clean lines, functional form, and minimal ornamentation. It features a two-tiered construction, which is not only visually interesting but also provides a practical division of space for storage and display. The wood is framed with lighter toned edging, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes the silhouette of the piece. The hairpin legs are made of iron, with a dark finish. This element is iconic of the mid-century modern furniture where designers often combined organic materials with industrial ones. The slim profile of the hairpin legs gives the sideboard a sense of lightness, as if it is floating above the ground. This is a deliberate contrast to the solid, heavy appearance of the wooden structure. The sideboard includes both open and closed storage. There are sliding doors, which are a space-efficient design feature typical of the era. Inside, there are shelves and drawers which provide a variety of storage options. The drawers have sculpted wooden handles that blend seamlessly into the design, showcasing Eisler's attention to detail and craftsmanship.
