Manufactured by Móveis Artesanal in the 1950s, this chair exemplifies the pioneering design philosophy of Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner. By incorporating Vienna straw, they crafted lightweight, flexible structures that harmonized with the organic beauty of Brazilian wood. The chair’s distinctive use of this technique, paired with its simple yet captivating form, highlights the designer’s skill in blending traditional craftsmanship with modernist aesthetics.
