Description

The renowned “Diplomata” desk, designed by Jorge Zalszupin in 1965 to meet the rising need for office furniture in Brasilia, is a testament to innovative design and craftsmanship. Crafted from Brazilian Rosewood, known as Jacaranda, in a patchwork style, it features a collage of several rosewood pieces, each with unique tones—a signature trait of Zalszupin's work. This method not only showcased his creativity but also utilized leftover wood scraps efficiently.

The desk is distinguished by its wide top and visible woodwork from all sides, highlighting its exceptional design. It boasts three drawers adorned with leather handles, adding a touch of elegance and functionality. The original L’Atelier seal beneath the tabletop authenticates its origin and quality craftsmanship. A standout piece, the “Diplomata” desk blends practicality with aesthetic appeal, embodying Zalszupin's dedication to both form and function in modern furniture design.
