The modern age manifested a great fascination for the wood and wicker chair, so much so that it has become a true archetype. Jorge Zalszupin also used this traditional combination of materials in the wicker chair, with the resulting piece being a chair that was at the same time spartan, elegant and free of excess.

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.
