'Presidencial' Sofa by Jorge Zalszupin for L'Atelier Brazil, c. 1960, Signed
This is an ideal signed collectors example of the extremely rare 'Presidencial' three seat sofa by Jorge Zalszupin for L'Atelier Moveis, Sao Paolo Brazil, circa 1960. Featuring a sculptural Jacaranda (an exotic variant of Brazilian Rosewood) frame with slatted seat backs and seductive curved arms sitting on top of three black and chrome steel legs. Subtle details complete this exotic couch such as the oversized brass screw on the sides - a beautiful detail sometimes lacking on other examples. The Jacaranda Rosewood has exquisite grain and is finished in an expert French Polish.
This is the perfect collectors example of the 'Presidencial' design as it is signed with a L'Atelier label and in such beautiful condition. Interior designers also consider this for your favorite collector client. These are so incredibly rare, get it before your competition does.
This Jorge Zalszupin for L'Atelier three seat Presidencial sofa would work great in a brazilian modern, mid-century modern, scandinavian or danish modern, or post-modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a contemporary, hollywood regency or art deco room. Also consider mixing it up in a traditional, classical or art deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. This sofa would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge, members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Would pair well with other Brazilian Modern pieces from designers such as Sergio Rodrigues, Joaquim Tenreiro, Giuseppe Scapinelli, Novo Rumo, Martin Eisler, Carlo Hauner, Percival Lafer, Fatima Arquitetura e Interiores, and JD Moveis.
