José Zanine Caldas Dining Table

Zanine Caldas is renowned for his innovative use of precious Brazilian hardwoods. His late career and Denúncia collection especially highlight the craftsmanship and activism of the designer. Caldas’ pieces are imbued with a deep sense of respect for the trees from which they were made. This impressive dining table, made of pequi wood, was carved from a single tree trunk. Its unique, organic form comes from the fact that the table's form was defined by the tree's shape. The simplicity of the design allows the focus to remain on the beauty of the wood. The sculptural quality of the table gives the piece a monumental feeling without sacrificing functionality.
