This table closely follows the principles that define his work from the era: reduced geometry, emphasis on proportion, and a structure that feels visually “lifted” despite robust materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1163\" data-start=\"585\"\u003eThe base is executed in plywood with rosewood veneer, framed in solid Brazilian rosewood (jacarandá), and topped with glass—an elegant material pairing frequently associated with Tenreiro’s pursuit of clarity and visual levity. The glass surface creates transparency and allows the architecture of the base to remain fully visible, while the solid rosewood framing provides definition, warmth, and a sense of finish. Subtle metal elements further reinforce the table’s crisp modernist character, complementing the contrast between the dense jacarandá and the lightness of glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1619\" data-start=\"1165\"\u003eWhat distinguishes this example is the \u003cstrong data-end=\"1239\" data-start=\"1204\"\u003edistinctive shaping of the base\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the lines are resolved with the kind of quiet sophistication typical of Tenreiro’s approach: curves and planes are treated as structural decisions rather than decoration, and every transition reads as intentional. The result is a composition that feels both sculptural and restrained—an object designed to be lived with, yet strong enough to hold its own as a centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1858\" data-start=\"1621\"\u003eThe rosewood has been beautifully refinished, revealing expressive grain and tonal variation with a refined satin surface.
