Designed by Jorge Zalszupin in the late 1970s, the Cubo line is a departure from his other collections. Lightweight and crafted from wood, these pieces are richly upholstered for maximum comfort.

A key design aesthetic is that both the seat and back appear to have been carefully sculpted from a solid cube, and the visible topstitch enhances the design and shape.

JORGE ZALSZUPIN

1922 -2020

He studied during the war and, when he graduated, in 1945, he felt so disillusioned with the devastation he saw in his hometown that he decided he would leave to look for other lands. After a spell in France, he came to Brazil, where he encountered the right conditions to develop his unique, poetical, sensual and modern brand of architecture.

 In the 1960s and 1970s, his work could be seen in pretty much every public building in Brasília. At the factory, a first-world structure mobilized designers, architects, engineers, craftsmen and a wide range of professionals who worked together through all stages, from the research of materials to the final product.
