About the Item

ChatGPT said: This side table, designed by José Zanine Caldas in 1950, demonstrates his ability to merge architectural rigor with the warmth of Brazilian materials. Executed in pequi plywood, the table is defined by its angular structure and striking silhouette. The splayed legs rise to meet a central support that anchors the composition, creating a sense of balance and rhythm, while the tabletop itself remains understated with gently rounded edges. The interplay between solid planes and open space gives the piece a sculptural quality, transforming a functional object into an expressive statement of mid-century Brazilian modernism. By using plywood, Caldas embraced both economy and innovation, producing a design that was at once accessible, durable, and visually compelling. This side table embodies the clarity and inventiveness that characterize his work, where simplicity of form is elevated by the natural beauty of native wood. Literature: S. F. da Silva, Livraria Agir Editora (ed.), Zanine, Sentir e Fazer : Feeling and Doing, Rio de Janeiro 1988, fig. 31. The piece has a Certificate of authenticity issued by Instituto Jose Zanine Caldas.
