Inspired by Polish baby strollers, Zalszupin designed the tea trolley in 1959. The combination of an iron frame, brass side wheels and a removable bottom shelf and tray, both in curved and sculpted wood, as well as a wooden rotating stand makes this is a standout sculptural design icon, a classic of Brazilian Modernism.

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.
