Manufactured in the 1950s by José Zanine Caldas’ company, Móveis Artísticos Z, this bar cabinet exemplifies his innovative approach to design. Caldas approached wood with a profound understanding of its nature, limits, and possibilities. He balanced traditional craftsmanship, readily available materials like plywood, and industrial production techniques. The result was accessible modern designs that maintained exceptional quality in both construction and aesthetics.
