Creator: Martin Eisler & Carlo Hauner
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
String Chair by Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner, showcasing their refined yet expressive design language. Its frame features slender, enameled metal legs and a sculptural, sloping silhouette. The seat and backrest are strung with taut cord, creating a light, open structure that balances tension and transparency. Teak armrests add warmth and contrast to the airy composition, while the dynamic base contributes a sense of movement.

Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner played a key role in shaping modern Brazilian furniture through their company Forma, founded in the early 1950s. Eisler, originally from Vienna, brought an architectural sensibility, while Hauner, born in Brescia, Italy, introduced artistic flair and industrial vision. Together, they combined European modernism with Brazilian materials and craftsmanship. Their work is known for its graceful lines, inventive forms, and sophisticated use of wood and metal - qualities fully embodied in this design.
