About the Item

José Zanine Caldas, hand carved console, solid wood, Brazil, 1970s This beautifully sculpted console was made at a time in which Caldas abandoned the rigid design aesthetics of Modernism and solely worked with local materials. From the 1960s, Caldas became involved with several furniture and architectural projects, and took an interest in issues relating to the preservation of forests, using found salvaged wood for his projects. As such, Caldas started creating solid furniture from single tree trunks. He called this series of furniture 'Móveis Denúncia', meaning protest furniture, in an attempt to bring attention to the environmental destruction of him home region. The present piece is a stunning example wonderful example of the artist’s ecological approach to design. Zanine Caldas (1919-2001) was born in Belmonte, Brazil. His designs are known for their raw, natural and sculptural qualities. Caldas was an autodidact and started his career as designer in the construction industry. He worked as a model builder for designers and architects including Oscar Niemeyer. In 1948 he founded the company Moveis Artisticos Z, and there he produced semi-mass produced plywood furniture. But already two years later, he decided to leave the company and return to his home state Bahia. Later he began to work with local materials, and combined the colonial aesthetic with the new modernist style. It was through his experience and development in style that is known to stay close to the truth of the material and that abandoned the rigid rules and objectivism of the Modernist era. Caldas held a strong believe that man should live in harmony with nature. VAT within the EU: When buying or delivering an item within the EU, VAT usually applies and will be added.
