The table is formed from a substantial section of wood, with an irregular rounded top and three integrated block legs. Its visible grain, natural surface variation and heavy, hand-worked construction align with Caldas’ later furniture practice, particularly his move toward sculptural pieces carved from large pieces of timber. The table is branded to the side “Caldas Filho.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"504\" data-end=\"591\"\u003e1975\u003cbr data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"525\"\u003ePequi wood\u003cbr data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"538\"\u003e16.5\" H × 42\" W × 36\" D\u003cbr data-start=\"561\" data-end=\"564\"\u003e(42cm H × 107cm W × 91cm D)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"593\" data-end=\"1394\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Maker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"615\"\u003eJosé Zanine Caldas was a Brazilian designer, architect and model maker born in Belmonte, Bahia, in 1919. Self-taught, he first became known for architectural models and worked with major Brazilian modernists including Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa. In 1949, he founded Móveis Artísticos Z in São Paulo, an important early producer of modern plywood furniture in Brazil. By the late 1960s, after returning to Bahia, Caldas began making what he called “móveis-denúncia,” or “outcry furniture”: hand-carved works made from large pieces of timber, often tied to his concern for forests, craft and Brazil’s material culture. His work is recognized for joining modern design with traditional woodworking and a strong environmental conscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Tresecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48429683736676,"sku":"LA32626-CaldesCoffeeTable","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/0080\/8292\/files\/10_6a6fdee2-ce2b-44c1-8a63-43b42d7dd690.png?v=1779139175","url":"https:\/\/tresecco.com\/products\/coffee-table-jose-zanine-caldas","provider":"Tresecco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
