Young Brazilian designer Zanini de Zanine has captivated attention worldwide with his straightforward and elegant design for the past 10 years. Designing in two distinct lines of production: one favoring small, or unique, editions of solid wood furniture made from reclaimed native Brazilian woods, reminiscent of his father’s work (seminal modern designer José Zanine Caldas), counterposed with a more industrial line that employs varied industrial materials (sheet metal, plastics, methacrylate, etc.), Zanini has recently introduced a line of home-accessories. Manufactured by renowned Brazilian design firm Riva and sold in the US exclusively at Espasso, Zanini utilizes stainless steel to compose a few new functional pieces – pitcher, salt and pepper shaker and pizza slicer – that follow his strong lines and angles and innovative appeal.
