Designed around 1960, this dressing table perfectly illustrates Jorge Zalszupin's ability to reconcile sculptural elegance with everyday function. The warmth of richly figured rosewood is balanced by the lightness of chromed steel, while the circular mirror introduces a subtle geometric rhythm. It embodies the distinctive character of Brazilian modernism: refined, organic and guided by a profound respect for natural materials.
