Description
The "Costela" sofa was designed in the 1950s by Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner for Forma in Brazil. The backrest consists of eight curved slats made of dark-stained jacaranda wood, which give the model its name: "Costela" means "rib" in Portuguese. The wooden frame is combined with an enameled steel construction. The sofa has been restored and fitted with a new bouclé upholstery.
