by José Zanine Caldas, 1950
A Brazilian pioneer to the industrialization of the furniture manufacturing process, José Zanine Caldas, honed his skills early as a construction company draftsmen and an architectural model maker at his own firm. Comfortable around the plywood material of which most of his early work is constructed of, Caldas designed from an efficient low•waste manufacturing point of view, as well as one accessible to the masses; his theme of thoughtful, practical design is apparent in the early, vintage H armchairs. • Stained plywood construction • Orange vinyl upholstery • Sold as a Pair
