Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1978, Zanini de Zanine remained in his hometown to study industrial design at the Catholic Institute. The son of the designer architect José Zanine Caldas, who collaborated most notably with Oscar Niemeyer, he grew up watching his father working on architectural, sculpture and design projects.
He says of his father who like many of the great architects of the 20th century was an autodidact, “He always told me to place high value on my own culture, as well as to learn to interpret it then vehicle it through my work. To move beyond my comfort zone.” Zanini received his Masters degree in industrial design from the Puc-Rio University in 2002, and shortly after decided to launch a production of massive wooden pieces. The interesting part is that the material came entirely from construction demolition sites. He also developed a range of industrial furniture made from sustainable wood, and from other materials like plastic, methacrylate or metal.
