The Costela chair was designed by Martin Eisler in 1953 and manufactured by the companies Móveis Artesanal and Forma. 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 Caviuna wood. The slats are rhythmically positioned and curve upwards on the sides, gently embracing the softly padded cushions. A curved stainless steel frame with short legs creates the necessary support. The comfortable cushions are reupholstered, tufted with buttons, and kept in place by tied strings at the back and bottom.
This chair is an iconic Brazilian Mid-Century Modern piece.
This piece is in its original condition.
