Jorge Zalszupin was one of Brazil’s most influential mid-century designers, shaping the look of modern Brazilian interiors with a unique mix of clean lines, quality materials, and practical functionality. Born in Poland in 1922 and moving to Brazil in 1947, Zalszupin combined European design sensibilities with the richness of Brazilian wood and craftsmanship. His pieces are carefully proportioned, detailed, and built to last. At Bazaa, we offer a selection of his key designs, restored and ready to integrate into contemporary interiors.
Sofas with Defined Form
Zalszupin’s sofas balance structure and usability. The Ameba Sofa and matching lounge chairs feature curved lines and an open frame that suits both living areas and larger lounge spaces. The Oxford Sofa is versatile, with multiple configurations that adapt to different rooms and layouts.
Chairs That Make a Statement
Zalszupin’s chairs are practical yet visually distinct. The Lobby Lounge Chair has clean lines and a solid frame, suitable for living rooms or study areas. The Commander Chair works equally well at a desk or as part of a seating group, combining straightforward design with functional proportions.
Benches That Fit Any Space
Zalszupin’s benches are designed to suit different settings. The Banco Bench is simple and precise in its form, while the Componível Bench can be arranged in sections to suit different spaces or needs. Both reflect Zalszupin’s approach to practical, well-considered design.
Office Chairs for Functional Workspaces
The Brown Lowback Commander Office Chair and Black Highback Commander Office Chair combine clean lines with usability, making them suitable for home offices or professional settings. They are built to last and designed for everyday use without unnecessary ornamentation.
Chest of Drawers That Organise a Room
Zalszupin’s storage pieces combine simplicity with strong design. The Chest of Drawers with White Laminex has clean lines and practical proportions, while the Patchwork Rosewood Chest Cabinet uses geometric patterns and varied wood tones to create visual interest while storing everyday items.
Jorge Zalszupin’s work demonstrates how careful design, proportion, and material choice can create furniture that suits modern homes. His pieces remain relevant for their thoughtful forms, practical construction, and attention to detail. At Bazaa, these designs are ready to find a place in today’s interiors, bringing Brazilian mid-century design to life.
