José Zanine Caldas. Moveis Z armchair, c. 1950. Plywood Naval and curvin wedge.

About the Item

This plywood and imitation leather chair is a testimony to the creativity of José Zanine Caldas in the 1950s. The choice of plywood that he particularly likes during this decade allows him to give free rein to his playful drawings giving this armchair a very graphic profile of which we can easily imagine the pattern. This stylistic research is one of the markers of Zanine Caldas who, whatever style he chooses, likes to understand the workshop work of these creations, so that these pieces remain legible. As a sculptor, architect or designer, Zanine Caldas honors the craft dimension in her artistic work. We feel when we see each of these pieces that the artist's hand is always voluntarily close.
