For his second participation in MAZE Art Gstaad, François Laffanour is presenting to the public, for the very first time, an unprecedented piece by Brazilian designer José Zanine Caldas. A major figure in 20th-century design, renowned for his work in solid wood, he unveils here an exceptional work, previously kept in a private residence in Ibirapuera, Brazil.

This “Dining Table” is notably distinguished by its top adorned with ceramic tiles, a feature scarcely documented in José Zanine Caldas’s work, giving the piece a remarkable uniqueness. Crafted entirely by hand from hand-sawn sucupira wood and sculpted with traditional tools, the table retains visible traces of manual workmanship. The surface treatment, carried out through sanding and waxing, reveals the wood’s density and depth while highlighting the subtle tension between the massive structure and the delicate ceramic inlay.

Based in Paris, Laffanour | Galerie Downtown has established itself as a leading reference in post-war design, representing iconic figures such as Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Pierre Jeanneret, and Le Corbusier.

In the years following the Second World War, designers and architects introduced a new approach to furnishing, guided by a desire for freedom and efficiency, serving a modern way of living in an era of technological, scientific, sociological, demographic, and social transformation.

Laffanour | Galerie Downtown also holds the archives of Galerie Steph Simon, which from 1956 to 1974 represented and produced furniture by Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Serge Mouille, Georges Jouve, and Isamu Noguchi.

Haines Gallery, Exhibits Andy Goldsworthly, "THe Landscape Artists"


In a new profile in The New Yorker, Andy Goldsworthy speaks to Rebecca Mead about the development of his work and his legacy as an artist, from his earliest installations to Gravestones, a poignant new project that will be the artist's "most substantial work on his home terrain."


The sheer beauty of some of Goldsworthy’s work—sliced fronds of heron feathers arranged in stark geometries, or a boulder coated in blood-red poppy petals—has sometimes led him to be characterized as a visual version of an exultant nature poet. But Goldsworthy deplores the city dweller’s notion of the countryside as a picturesque escape. “For me, the landscape is not a place you go to for therapy and relaxation—it is to get challenged and have ideas, and to generate thoughts and feelings and emotions,” he told me. “It’s a very powerful thing to deal with.”
