The modulated units were designed by Jorge Zalszupin (1922-2020) during the 1960s.
The piece remained in the designer's possession, for over four decades, in his personal residence. Entirely covered with rectangular pieces of marquetry wood, it is part of a series with many options of modulated elements where you can choose how to create the final furniture piece.
Zalszupin developed a line of modular furniture – one of its most successful lines. This strategy was also adopted by several of his contemporaries, such as Michel Arnoult and Geraldo de Barros.
The “modulated units” consisted of many element options. Clients could choose how to assemble it to create the final furniture piece according to their taste: the number of drawers, doors, and shelves, or opt for specific compartments, such as units for radio speakers.
