This coffee table designed by Joaquim Tenreiro in 1950 showcases both the colonial and Concretist influences in his work. The mashrabiya (later known as muxarabi) is an architectural element of Arabic residences that had been incorporated into Portuguese buildings and taken to Brazil since its first settlement. The way in which Tenreiro utilizes the trellis as a utilitarian surface follows this trend, but the play with volume and shadow must also be put in context with the emerging Concretist movement in Brazil at the time. -
