        Certified Jacaranda wood bent veneer

        130cm x 35 cm (ØxH)

        £19,500 plus any applicable taxes

         

        Named as one of Brazil’s most important designers of the twentieth century, Jorge Zalszupin mastered the art of mixing his European influences with the unique Brazilian aesthetic. Sensual yet geometrical lines, organic shapes, precious woods and fine leathers: all his designs are a masterful example of impeccable woodworking, classical detailing and functional elegance. His brand l’Atelier, founded in the fifties, is widely considered the benchmark for what we now call Brazilian Modernism. Passionate about the quality and variety of Brazilian woods, Zalszupin conceived his most remarkable designs by adapting form and materials in a very organic way, thus highlighting the beauty of Jacaranda, Rosewood and Ironwood.

        Joaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992) was a pioneer in modernist Brazilian furniture making. The artist and furniture designer was born in Portugal and moved to Rio de Janeiro in the late 1920s. Tenreiro refused to indulge in his new country’s parochial tastes and instead challenged his clients to appreciate more contemporary styles. In the early 1940s, he established his studio, and by the 1950s, he was designing furniture for modern architects like Oscar Niemeyer.

         

        A forerunner in the use of rediscovered raw materials as well as the creator of a new formal language in 20th-century Brazilian furniture design, he drew on the lessons of past furniture-making as a vital source, not only in the mastery of technical and constructive solutions but also in the aesthetic experience, craftsmanship, and the cultural meaning of his production. As a result, his exquisitely crafted pieces evoke a refined coexistence of traditional values and modern aesthetics, firmly bound to the Brazilian cultural milieu.

        Ana fell for vintage design in 2002 while decorating her family's new midcentury house in the bay area of Santander, northern Spain.


        A cowshed close-by was converted by Ana into Del Veinte Galería, a 300m2 space filled with French, Italian & Scandinavian design.


        After a short time Ana decided to move forward and being inspired by the remarkable craftsmanship of vintage tropical furniture, she became one of the first dealers to introduce original Brazilian 20th century design in Europe. Ever since, Ana has been dealing with galleries, architects and interior decorators across Europe, Mexico the US and Russia, sourcing extraordinary pieces by the most relevant names in 20th century design, mostly Brazilian, though not only. French and Nordic vintage pieces are also part of the collection.
