Description
This stunning coffee table, designed by José Zanine Caldas in the 1970s, is a masterwork of Brazilian modernist design. Crafted from tropical wood with a richly textured live edge, the table showcases the raw, unrefined beauty of the material. The natural imperfections and organic lines highlight Zanine’s philosophy of celebrating the soul of the wood, creating a timeless piece that honors both nature and craft.

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 signed coffee table embodies his philosophy, serving as both a functional centerpiece and an enduring work of art.
