(Eng) Eisler’s experience in Brazil aroused his interest in exotic
woods and varnishing and lacquering techniques on wood, glass
and bronze. Also greatly appreciated as an architect for his
projects characterised by their all-encompassing creativity, which
customised every detail, from buildings to furniture, Eisler also
worked as a set designer and opera director. His most famous
design pieces include the Reversível and Costela chairs, which
were awarded the prestigious Milanese Compasso d’Oro.

(Ita) L’esperienza brasiliana approfondisce l’interesse di Eisler per
i legni esotici e le tecniche di verniciatura e laccatura di legno,
vetro e bronzo. Molto apprezzato anche come architetto, per
i suoi progetti caratterizzati da una creatività totalizzante, che
personalizza ogni dettaglio, dalla costruzione agli arredi, Eisler
è anche scenografo e regista operistico. Tra i pezzi più celebri del
suo design si ricordano le sedute Reversível e Costela, vincitrice
del prestigioso Compasso d’Oro milanese.
