Vintage Dining table from Protest Furniture series, José Zanine Caldas, 1970s
About the Item
Jose Zanine Caldas (1919-2001) was a self-taught artist, designer, and architect, born in Bahia, Brazil. At age twenty, he opened an architectural scale model workshop in Rio de Janeiro, working with modernist pioneers such as Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer.
In the 1970s, seeing the wood leftover from deforestation, Zanine decided to make use of wood scrap and, at the same time, bring attention to the environmental destruction of the region. That was when he created his "protest furniture." He believed his furniture would be evidence for future generations of the existence of large trees in the original Atlantic Forest. To that end, he kept the trunks and roots in their natural shapes and sizes.
Inspired by the local craftsmen who carved boats and furniture from felled trees, Zanine began experimenting with carving large sculptural works, which became the focus of his later career. Zanine wrote extensively about his connection to the forest and tried, whenever possible, to either use already felled trees or to plant a tree for each one he used.

Jorge Zalszupin Guanabara Rosewood Vintage Dining Table, 1959, Brazilian Design
By Jorge Zalszupin, L'Atelier San Paulo
Located in New York, NY
The iconic Guanabara is a table designed by Jorge Zalszupin (1922-2020) in 1959 and produced by his company, L'atelier. A long rosewood patchwork top rests over two concrete bases finished with black leather.
This patchwork solution is present in other pieces designed by Zalszupin. Modern design taught us to use the material rationally, using the design as a tool to void waste. Aesthetically, the patchwork explores the different tones of the Brazilian Rosewood beautifully, achieving a fantastic result.
At the time, the Guanabara table was presented as a dynamic piece that could be used in corporate spaces (as a meeting table...
