Exploring the possibilities of wood and leather, Zalszupin designed the Veranda armchair. 

A wooden structure with adjustable seat and backrest and strips of leather for the armrests, fixed in place with wooden buttons. 

The use of metal elements and the leather finish with broad stitching is a new take on a combination of materials so familiar in Brazilian culture.

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.
