Condition: Original Vintage Condition – Well preserved with light wear consistent with age
Structure: Six-Petal Configuration
Modernist Icon The Petalas Coffee Table, designed in 1959 by Brazilian master Jorge Zalszupin, is a celebrated example of sculptural modernism. Crafted from molded laminated wood and supported by a discreet iron frame, it features a distinctive six-petal design that blurs the line between furniture and art.
Innovative Craftsmanship Zalszupin’s pursuit of aesthetic freedom and efficiency led to the use of emerging technologies like molded laminate—a technique that allowed for complex curves and refined geometry without compromising on production viability.
Timeless Form Each wooden lozenge interlocks in a seamless radial composition, forming a dynamic structure that shifts subtly with the viewer’s perspective. The rich natural grain enhances its organic elegance, while the slender iron base keeps the silhouette light and architectural.
Collectible Design Legacy Produced by L’Atelier and preserved in original condition, this piece represents a pivotal moment in mid-century Brazilian design, offering both historical significance and enduring visual impact.
