Martin Eisler & Carlo Hauner 'Costela' Chair

Martin Eisler & Carlo Hauner 'Costela' Chair

The 'Costela' — Portuguese for "rib" — takes its name directly from its structure: curved wooden slats that fan upward like a ribcage, cradling the padded cushions rather than framing them the conventional way. Designed by Martin Eisler in 1953 and produced by the company he built with Carlo Hauner, it's one of the true icons of Brazilian mid-century design and collectible design more broadly — instantly recognisable, and rarely available in this original, unrestored condition.
