Created in the 1960s by Polish-Brazilian architect and designer Jorge Zalszupin, the iconic Pétalas stands out for its minimalistic elegance and clever construction. Reminiscent of folded paper origami, a common theme in Zalzupin's designs, this piece consists of eight hardwood veneer "petals" arranged together into an octogonal shape. The radial structure is delicately emphasized by the beautiful wood grain, which converges in the middle of the table's top.
