JZ Tea Trolley by Jorge Zalszupin

Stories Editor's Pick JZ Tea Trolley by Jorge Zalszupin

« Every now and then a design comes along that blows your socks off. A piece that breaks convention at the time, and still looks fresh and chic 100 years later», writes Ruth Sleightholme in her introduction to House & Garden’s article « 50 iconic pieces of design worth investing in », which includes the JZ Trolley. She then concludes by stating that these « effortlessly elegant and chic pieces are tested classics that will always hold value. » What else can we say? We simply love this iconic piece designed in the 1950s by Jorge Zalszupin. The slender yet oversized brass wheels counterbalance the graphic, triangular sides of the bottom shelf made of precious imbuia wood: simple, pure lines, with just a touch of understated playfulness. Elegant & chic, it can also be styled as a decorative piece of furniture, ideal for displaying some beautiful candleholders or small objects: Osanna’s Visconti’s Small Candle Holder, Goossens’ Fig Leaf Trinket or Le Berre Vevaud’s Pandoro Boxes.

The JZ Trolley is a reissue by ETEL, available on The Invisible Collection.

Bespoke dimensions and finishes upon request.

Jorge Zalszupin by Etel

Named as one of Brazil’s most important designers of the twentieth century, Jorge Zalszupin mastered the art of mixing his European influences with the unique Brazilian aesthetic. Sensual yet geometrical lines, organic shapes, precious woods and fine leathers: all his designs are a masterful example of impeccable woodworking, classical detailing and functional elegance. His brand l’Atelier, founded in the fifties, is widely considered the benchmark for what we now call Brazilian Modernism. Passionate about the quality and variety of Brazilian woods, Zalszupin conceived his most remarkable designs by adapting form and materials in a very organic way, thus highlighting the beauty of Jacaranda, Rosewood and Ironwood.
