For over a decade, he ran a workshop specializing in architectural models, producing more than 500 scale models for some of Brazil\u2019s most renowned architects, including Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa. In 1949, Caldas founded the <i>F\u00e1brica Moveis Art\u00edsticos Z<\/i>, a company that produced standardized plywood furniture aimed at a broader audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Disillusioned with the capitalist direction of the venture, he abandoned the enterprise and moved to the coastal town of Nova Vi\u00e7osa. There, he began crafting what would later be known as <i>M\u00f3veis Den\u00fancia<\/i>\u2014protest furniture. These pieces, inspired by local craftsmanship and the natural resources of the region, were often carved from a single tree trunk. With these works, Caldas sought to showcase the richness and majesty of the forest to future generations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Caldas was a radical creator. His work consistently pursued essentialist truths at the root of each project\u2014whether in his deep engagement with the natural environment or his understanding of interior space as a multisensory experience. His unwavering commitment to Brazilian craftsmanship and natural materials is the foundation of his entire body of work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24450,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","footnotes":""},"categorias-profesionales":[1324,1326],"class_list":["post-30284","profesionales","type-profesionales","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorias-profesionales-artists","categorias-profesionales-designers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/30284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profesionales"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/30284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categorias-profesionales","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorias-profesionales?post=30284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
