Martin Eisler was born in Vienna in 1913, the son of a famous art historian, and began his career as a student in a studio of well-known architects. In 1938 he moved to Buenos Aires where he immediately held his first exhibition of drawings and furniture at the Mueller Gallery, which was to become the future Salon of Fine Arts. In 1945 he founded with Arnold Hacker "Interiur," a company that designed and sold furniture and furnishings. He then moved to Brazil where he founded a new company while deepening his interest in exotic woods and new techniques for painting and lacquering wood, glass and bronze. These two enterprises of Eisler's would later begin to work in synergy, producing highly successful furniture. Among the most famous pieces of his design are the Reversível and Costela chairs, still sold today by Tacchini. He is also highly regarded in the architectural field for his designs marked by a totalizing and detailed creativity.
