This desk was designed by Jorge Zalszupin (1922-2020) and manufactured by his company, L’Atelier. This piece has the surface covered with rectangular pieces of marquetry wood, a creative resource developed by Zalszupin.
The technique glues several Rosewood veneers pieces of different textures and shades on a furniture surface, forming a beautiful wood patchwork. This feature allows large surfaces to be coated with a more significant visual unit, making it easier to combine different furniture.
This desk is a dynamic piece that can be used in corporate and domestic places, a characteristic very present in Zalszupin’s production. It is part of a series of desks that belonged to ESAF - School of Treasury Administration, an organ of the Brazilian Ministry of Finance. It was extinguished in January 2019 and incorporated into the Ministry of Economics.
