Description
Available today, with domestic shipping in NYC metro area included, this “Costela” Armchair with Ottoman by Martin Eisler for Moveis Artesanal, 1954 is nothing less than gorgeous!

The Costela armchair is an iconic Brazilian Mid-Century Modern piece. It was designed by Martin Eisler (1913 - 1977) in 1953 and manufactured by the companies Móveis Artesanal and Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte, where he was partner and co-founder. The name "Costela", which translates as "Rib", is apparent in the design with its eight wooden slats that resemble a rib structure made with Brazilian hardwood. The slats are rhythmically positioned and curve upwards on the sides, gently embracing the softly padded cushions. A curved steel frame with short legs creates the necessary support. The comfortable cushions are reupholstered as historical references, tufted with buttons, and kept in place by tied strings at the back and bottom.

The wood has been refinished and displays colorful veins. The metal structure is in its original condition and the original stamp of Moveis Artesanal is displayed under the seat. The super comfortable upholstery is new.

The matching ottoman was made by an unknown designer in Brazil during the sixties and has also an exquisite craft. The ensemble is not only beautiful but extremely comfortable
