Black Accent Side Table by Jose Zanine Caldas, 1950s

About the Item

Available right now, this Mid Century Modern accent/phone table in plywood designed by Jose Zanine Caldas in the fifties is beautiful! The table consists of four legs and two shelves painted in black. Zanine’s manufacturing seal is under the table top. The googie look of this gorgeous piece will easily blend into almost any type of contemporary, mid century modern, boho chic, or modern environment. In regards to the author, a self-taught artist, designer, and architect, Jose Zanine Caldas (1919-2001) was born on the southern coast of Bahia in Brazil. At age twenty, he opened an architectural scale model workshop in Rio de Janeiro where he worked with modernist pioneers such as Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer. In 1948, he and two business partners started the company Móveis Artisticos Z. Their elegant, simple, and organic shaped pieces in plywood were produced at a price point that made them accessible to the emerging market of collectors, with an eye toward a modern style. In the early 1950s, Zanine left the company and returned to his home state of Bahia. Heavily inspired by the local craftsmen there who carved boats and furniture from felled trees, Zanine began experimenting with chiseling and carving large, sculptural works, which became the focus of his later career. He also set himself apart with his pavilion-type architectural constructions in richly colored hewn logs. Zanine’s work has been exhibited in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and throughout his native Brazil. Size: H22.4, W23.6, D23.6 (in) H57, W60, D60 (in)
