This beautiful armchair was designed by Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner for "Forma".
This is a very elegant piece with clean lines and a sculptural feeling. Because of Its organic shape, it is super comfortable. The legs of the armchair are made of solid hardwood and it has a beautiful patina. This piece was carefully reupholstered and restored by one of the best craftsmen in São Paulo.
Martin Eisler (1913-1977) and Carlo Hauner (1927-1997) were the main designers creating for the iconic Brazilian furniture manufacturer Forma.
European-born, Eisler emigrated in 1938 to Buenos Aires, Argentina, before moving to Brazil in the early 1950s. Hauner— hailing from Brescia, Italy and educated in technical drawing at Milan’s Brera Academy—arrived in South America a bit later, in 1949. The two met for the first time, in São Paulo and were inspired to merge their production companies into one—the company which, after a series of name changes, eventually became Forma.
