Lounge Chairs by José Zanine Caldas, Brazil, 1970s
-
Description
These remarkable lounge chairs, designed by renowned Brazilian architect and designer José Zanine Caldas in the 1970s, exemplifies his mastery of organic minimalism and innovative craftsmanship. Sculpted from richly grained tropical wood, the chair’s curvilinear, monolithic form is as striking as it is inviting. Each curve and contour reflects Zanine’s deep respect for the natural world, resulting in a piece that feels as much a part of nature as it does a statement of modern design.
José Zanine Caldas (1919–2001) was a visionary Brazilian architect and designer, celebrated for his ability to merge sculptural artistry with everyday functionality. Known as the “architect of the people,” Zanine’s work reflects his passion for reclaimed woods and sustainable practices, creating iconic designs that honor the material’s natural essence and his roots in Bahia. This lounge chair encapsulates his philosophy, bringing timeless beauty and craftsmanship into any interior. -
