The Coffee Table has a unique design as Caldas exploited a root wood and complemented it by glass top. He directly expressed the esteem for organic forms and wooden materials. He kept the original shape of the root he found and preserved its texture. Caldas’s connection with nature is always present in his work.
Artist
José Zanine Caldas
José Zanine Caldas (1919-2001) was a self-taught artist, designer and architect from Belmonte, Brazil.
For over 10 years he ran a workshop specialising in architectural scale models, where he developed over 500 models for top Brazilian architects including Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa. In 1949, Caldas created the Fábrica Moveis Artísticos Z to produce standardised plywood furniture for a wider public.
