'Concha' Lounge Chair by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler, Brazil, 1950's

This lounge chair by Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler was produced in Brazil in the 1950's by Forma. The chair is upholstered in faux leather, resting on a thin, black-painted iron frame with signature cross-bracing underneath. The structure gives the chair a light, almost floating look, while the seat itself is wide and supportive, with a slightly reclined angle and four deep-set buttons for subtle contouring.

Eisler and Hauner often explored contrasts in their designs—here between solid comfort and minimal metal. The result is a piece that feels open and spacious without sacrificing function. The frame’s exposed structure is typical of their work, emphasizing transparency and form. This chair fits easily into a modern setting, whether used on its own or in a pair.

Reupholstery is advised.
