The Onda bench, designed by Jorge Zalszupin for Atelier Moveis and crafted in Brazil in the 1950s, exemplifies modernism rooted in an organic approach to form. The body, made from solid rosewood, displays a deep, warm brown tone emphasized by striking, natural graining, while the matte-satin finish imparts a gentle sheen that highlights the wood’s qualities without excess gloss. The signature feature is the undulating, wave-like edge and seat profile running nearly the full three-meter length—a direct nod to the biomorphic inspirations of South American mid-century modernism. The integrated magazine rack, formed from the same rosewood, features smoothly contoured dividers that echo the flowing lines of the bench. Flat, bent legs in polished metal introduce a subtle material contrast and provide stability. Joint details are precise and discreet, with no visible screws or hardware, revealing careful craftsmanship. The proportions are elongated and low, granting the bench a sculptural presence. Condition is very good for its age, with minor traces of time and gentle patina reflecting its vintage pedigree.
