José Zanine Caldas, Banco Pilão, Hand-Sculpted Chair, Signed, Brazil, 1970s
About the Item
Hand-sculpted chair by José Zanine Caldas, Circa 1970s.
This chair was made of Brazilian hard wood. Signed "Zanine".
A self-taught designer, José Zanine Caldas is known to transform wood into magnificently sensual pieces. In 1964, when Brazil was undergoing a military coup, he lost his position at the University of Brasilia and took refuge in the beach town of Nova Viçosa. There he faced the destruction of the Atlantic Forest. Inspired by local craftsmen who carved boats and furniture from fallen trees, he began carving solid furniture from local woods like pequi, acajou and vinhático. Characterized by a greatly organic, sculptural quality, Zanine’s furniture takes full advantage of the cracks and natural curves of the wood. He interfered minimally in the natural forms, leaving alive the memory of the destruction of the forest, reason that gave to the series the name ‘Móveis Denúncia/ Furniture-Denunciation’.
