A beautiful, sensual, geometric Jorge Zalszupin coffee/ cocktail table manufactured by L'Atelier. This sculptural table in the original warm satin finish, is characterized by its minimalistic elegance, clever construction, and inspiration from origami paper folding. It is composed of eight petals of layered exotic Jacaranda wood arranged and supported by a round metal armature, forming an overall octagonal /round shape with curved outline and paper label under top. The individual petals converge in a visually stunning floral grain pattern in the middle of the table's top and radiate outward; while the softened edges are a tactile pleasure. The organic design is meant to evoke the petals of a flower and was initially created with the intention of avoiding wood waste. Today it is considered one of Zalszupin's most iconic creations. His work remains highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts worldwide. ------------------------------------- Jorge Zalszupin was a visionary designer who made a lasting impact on the world of furniture design and architecture. Born in Poland, he fled the country during World War II and took refuge in Romania, where he obtained his architectural degree at Bucharest’s Ecole des Beaux Arts. After working in France, he was offered a job in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and chose to settle there, becoming a crucial figure in the development of Brazilian Modernism. Zalszupin was known as an architect as well as a furniture designer. He ran one of the largest furniture factories in Brazil. In his later years he explored painting and lived until 98 years old. His custom furniture pieces were designed and crafted for homes and offices across Brazil in the late 1950s and early ’70s. He was particularly skilled at using materials that were native to Brazil, such as jacaranda, rosewood, and ironwood, to create beautiful and functional furniture. He emphasized the natural beauty of the materials, highlighting their unique grain patterns and textures. In the 1950s, Jorge founded the brand " l'Atelier, " which became synonymous with high-quality, beautifully designed furniture. His brand was widely considered the benchmark for what is now called Brazilian Modernism and helped to establish Brazil as a leading force in the world of furniture design. Throughout his career, Jorge's designs were characterized by their modernist sensibility, clean lines, and impeccable craftsmanship. He expertly combined European influences with the unique Brazilian aesthetic, creating a style that was both functional and visually appealing. Jorge Zalszupin's legacy continues to inspire designers and architects around the world and he is widely recognized as one of the most important designers of the 20th century in Brazil.
