This fabulous armchair was designed by Martin Eisler and manufactured by Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte around 1954. The piece is composed of a solid Pau-Marfim wood structure and two independent volumes for the seat and backrest, both attached to the wood structure using screws.
This design comprises a comfortable shape with extremely curved forms that perfectly fit the body. The armrests are formed by the extension of the seat, making this piece a straightforward construction, easy to manufacture, and store - fundamental characteristics for the intended industrial production at the time.
This piece illustrated several interior projects and advertisements in Brazilian magazines, such as Casa e Jardim cover, one of the most influential magazines of interior design and lifestyle in the 1950s and 1960s.
A similar design was produced during the same period in another armchair, using an iron structure instead of wood – which represents the rational thought present in Hauner and Eisler's creations, using similar forms to create several different final products.
This armchair was recently restored and is in very good vintage condition. The piece received new upholstery in 100% Organic Silk fabric from our Bossa Fabrics collection.
