Description

The iconic Guanabara Table, designed in the late 1950s by Jorge Zalszupin (1922-2020) and produced by his company, L’Atelier, exemplifies rare mid-century modern Brazilian design. It showcases a sleek, continuous rosewood veneer top that accentuates the natural grain and beauty of the wood. The table is supported by a single concrete base wrapped in original black hand-stitched leather, combined with an iron structure for strength and a modernist aesthetic. It reflects meticulous craftsmanship, with the original veneer carefully preserved and gently polished to restore its finish—replacing varnish without compromising authenticity. The iron and leather parts remain in their original vintage state, enhancing its character and historical value. Its versatile design allows it to serve as a meeting table in corporate environments or as a dining table for 8-10 people in homes. Originally used as a dining table, it highlights its enduring versatility and role as a focal point. Provenance details are available upon request.
