This dining table is made of solid, massive wood. It is part of the Denuncia collection, designed later in Caldas’ career. The production took place mostly in Nova Viçosa and was inspired by local craftsmanship while using forestry wastes, making each piece unique. The carved work on both legs of the table is reminiscent of Caldas’ sculptures and demonstrates his capacities as a designer and artist.

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.
