Rare 'Costela' Lounge Chairs by Martin Eisler for Móveis e Objetos, Brazil, 1954

These extraordinary lounge chairs represent an original and very rare piece of Brazilian design history. Designed by Martin Eisler in 1954 for the renowned company Móveis e Objetos de Arte, these chairs are signed, as seen in the photos, verifying their authenticity and provenance. Offered as a set, their structure is crafted with a combination of tubular steel and wooden "ribs," arranged rhythmically to create a poetic flow and unmatched visual elegance.

The ribs, made of solid wood and lacquered black, are distinctive, with varying widths that set this design apart from later reproductions. Eisler's visionary design blends functionality and art, making the Costela chair one of Brazil's most iconic furniture pieces. Production ceased in the early 1960s, increasing the rarity and value of original Forma models like these.

Unlike subsequent interpretations by companies like Recobel and Pailar, these original pieces showcase the highest quality materials, including a thinner steel structure and premium finishing. Their undeniable provenance, exquisite craftsmanship, and iconic status solidify them as treasured collector's items for design enthusiasts worldwide.
