Jorge Zalszupin Case Pieces and Storage Cabinets

Brazilian, Polish, 1922-2020

Just as emigrant Europeans — from Kem Weber and Paul Frankl to Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe — helped establish modernist design and architecture in the United States, so too did many of their peers foster the new design aesthetic in Brazil in the middle decades of the 20th century. Along with architect Lina Bo Bardi (from Italy) and Joaquim Tenreiro (from Portugal) — both of whom helped popularize Brazilian modern design and influenced today's generation of Brazilian designers — there was Jorge Zalszupin, who arrived from Poland in 1949 and created consistently sleek and elegant chairs, tables and case pieces using the South American country’s vibrantly grained tropical hardwoods.

Zalszupin was born in Warsaw (his given first name is Jerzy) and went on to study architecture at the École des Beaux Arts in Bucharest, Romania, graduating in 1945. Zalszupin moved to Paris but found few opportunities in the postwar City of Light. He was impressed by articles on the work of Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer that he saw in the André Bloc–edited magazine L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui (Architecture Today). And after sailing to South America, Zalszupin went to work with his fellow Pole and architect Luciano Korngold in São Paulo. Zalszupin began designing furniture as part of his architectural commissions and created several pieces for Niemeyer for use in the new capital city, Brasília. He opened his own design and manufacturing firm, L’Atelier, in 1959.

While Zalszupin cannot be said to have had a signature style, his furniture designs all share a characteristic simplicity and purity of line and form. His work is often compared to that of Danish designers, most especially in their shared commitment to quality construction. He was a master of many materials: travertine marble for tabletops, slung leather for seating, man-made fabrics for upholstery and — his forte — highly figured woods such as jacaranda and rosewood. The latter plays prominently in two of Zalszupin’s best-known lounge chairs: the Brasiliana, with its austere, angular wood frame, and the Presidencial, with its curved seating shell and slatted backrest. Both chairs feature deep cushions and generous proportions in deference to the Brazilian proclivity for long and languid conversations. Yet both pieces — like all Zalszupin designs — possess a striking, tailored grace that would be perfect in any environment.

Jorge Zalszupin Jacaranda Rosewood Credenza, Jd Móveis E Decorações, 1960s
By Jorge Zalszupin, J.D. Moveis e Decoracoes
Located in Culver City, CA
This piece is stunning! Designed by the renowned Brazilian furniture designer, Jorge Zalszupin for renowned Brazilian furniture manufacturer JD Móveis e Decorações, this credenza / sideboard demands attention. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this exceptional piece showcases the timeless beauty of book-matched jacaranda rosewood, perfectly harmonizing functionality with aesthetic appeal. Jorge Zalszupin, a highly recognized figure in the realm of Brazilian design, possesses a rich history in the world of furniture craftsmanship. Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1922, Zalszupin immigrated to Brazil in the 1950s and soon became an influential force in the country's burgeoning design scene. Drawing inspiration from the organic forms found in nature and influenced by the modernist movement pioneered by architectural maestro Oscar Niemeyer, Zalszupin forged a unique design language that blended elegance, functionality, and a deep appreciation for Brazilian materials. This sideboard, a testament to Zalszupin's expertise, is a stunning example of his mastery of design and his profound respect for the inherent beauty of materials. The book-matched jacaranda rosewood adorning its exterior showcases the unmistakable warmth and richness of this exotic Brazilian wood, skillfully harnessed to create a captivating visual pattern that captures the eye. Functionality is seamlessly integrated into this piece. The sideboard features a thoughtfully designed arrangement of drawers and doors, providing ample storage space for your cherished belongings. Whether it's displaying fine china, storing linens, or organizing your treasured book collection, this sideboard offers a practical solution while maintaining elegance, sophistication and minimalist design with a maximalist facade. The sideboard's sleigh legs not only lend a touch of sophistication but also pay homage to other renowned Brazilian designers. Percival Lafer, an esteemed name in Brazilian furniture design, was celebrated for his innovative use of materials and unique seating designs, which often featured distinctive leg styles. Sergio Rodriguez, a Uruguayan-born architect and designer who found success in Brazil, was known for his sculptural furniture creations, while Joaquim Tenreiro, a master craftsman, brought a refined simplicity to his designs that blended traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. As you welcome this exceptional sideboard into your living space, you embrace a piece of Brazilian design heritage and the legacy of Jorge Zalszupin. The union of meticulous craftsmanship, the allure of book-matched jacaranda rosewood, and the influence of revered Brazilian designers ensure that this sideboard will be a focal point, enriching your home with its beauty and functionality for years to come. This piece was a Jorge Zalszupin design for JD Móveis e Decorações. JD Móveis e Decorações is a renowned Brazilian furniture company that has collaborated with several prominent designers over the years. Jorge Zalszupin's exceptional design talent and unique artistic vision made him a natural fit for partnering with JD Móveis e Decorações to create exquisite furniture pieces. Through this collaboration, Zalszupin's iconic designs were able to reach a wider audience, further solidifying his status as a celebrated figure in Brazilian design. This piece would look incredible in any mid century modern, modern or contemporary home. We currently have this piece in the gallery paired with a Sergio Rodriguez sofa...
