Jorge Zalszupin (Brazilian, 1922-2020) was named one of Brazil’s most important designers of the twentieth century. He mastered the art of blending his European influences with the unique Brazilian aesthetic. Sensual yet geometric lines, organic shapes, precious woods, and fine leathers—his designs are a masterful example of impeccable woodworking, classical detailing, and functional elegance. His brand, l’Atelier, founded in the 1950s, is widely considered the benchmark for what we now call Brazilian Modernism. Passionate about the quality and variety of Brazilian woods, Zalszupin conceived his most remarkable designs by adapting forms and materials in an organic way, highlighting the beauty of Jacaranda, Rosewood, and Ironwood.
