Description

This exquisite dining table, designed by Jose Zanine Caldas in the 1970s, is a testament to true craftsmanship and natural beauty. Made entirely from solid Pequi wood- a species native to Central Brazil renowned for its distinctive features- this table showcases the wood's unique characteristics and extraordinary grain pattern. The meticulously refinished tabletop and legs, formed from split and hollowed-out wood are connected by a wooden plank, underscoring the table's unique construction and pristine condition. 

Embracing a brutalist aesthetic, Caldas carves his pieces directly from solid wood, preserving its texture, colors, and natural imperfections. These imperfections, seen in its knots and cracks, celebrate the inherent beauty of the tree's original form, making this table not only a functional piece of furniture but a work of art.
