The iconic Guarujá is a table designed by Jorge Zalszupin (1922-2020) in 1959 and produced by his company, L’atelier. A rosewood patchwork top rests over one concrete base finished with leather.
This patchwork solution is present in other pieces designed by Zalszupin. Modern design taught us about using the material rationally, having the design as a tool to avoid waste. Aesthetically, the patchwork explores the different tones of the Brazilian rosewood beautifully, achieving a unique result.
At the time, the Guanabara table was presented as a dynamic piece that could be used in the corporate spaces (as a meeting table) and the domestic places (as a dining table). Today, we still recognize its versatility, a mark of good design.
This piece is in very good vintage condition. The concrete base needs to be reupholstered.
