This side table is part of the Denuncia furniture created in the later period of Caldas’ career, for the most part in his Nova Viçosa workshop. Inspired by local craftsmanship, Caldas ennobled the organic wooden structure while preserving the vivid texture of the material. The Denuncia collection demonstrates his experiments with forestry wastes such as felled trees and roots.
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.
