Rib Chair in Teak and Metal, Brazil, 1950's
About the Item
Rib Chair in Teak and Metal, Brazil, 1950's
This rib chair takes cues from the work of Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner — especially in how the frame and structure are allowed to speak. The open, curved wooden ribs create a sculptural form, while the metal frame shows its age unapologetically. What might seem like corrosion at first actually gives the chair its charm — that weathered, textured patina can’t be faked. It tells you the piece has lived a life.
The mix of worn steel and rich, dark wood works well. There’s a rough honesty to it. When the cushions are added (they tie directly into the ribs), it turns from bare frame to inviting seat. But even stripped back, it holds its own — more object than furniture.
It’s not pristine, and that’s exactly the point. This kind of surface wear, especially on the metal, gives it a presence you don’t get from something restored to look new. It’s a reminder that beauty often comes with time.
New cushions can be made to order, and with that, it becomes a perfect mix of old and new — aged frame with fresh comfort.
