Item Description
A rare, large Jacaranda executive desk by Jorge Zalszupin for L’Atelier São Paulo, circa 1960, representing the pinnacle of Brazilian mid-century modern design. This is the slightly larger and highly sought-after version of Zalszupin’s iconic executive desk, celebrated for its sculptural elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. A similar example is featured in Brazil Modern by Aric Chen. Crafted in richly grained jacaranda wood, the desk features four drawers with exquisitely detailed grips in jacaranda and natural leather, exemplifying Zalszupin’s signature attention to materiality and refinement. Its expansive top and architectural form create a commanding presence while maintaining a sense of refined sophistication. Condition: All original, in very good condition, with minor surface wear consistent with age, preserving a beautiful, luminous patina. The original keys bearing the L’Atelier label are included. A museum-quality example of 1960s Brazilian modernism, this desk is a rare opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs to acquire a significant piece by one of Brazil’s most important designers—a work of functional art that combines elegance, history, and enduring investment value. Shipping: Professionally crated in a custom plywood case to ensure safe worldwide delivery.
