The São Paulo home of Polish-born designer Jorge Zalszupin will house the designer’s legacy and is also intended to become an artistic and educational hub for the region.
The new functions of the former residence will be developed by the Brazilian brand ETEL and the gallery almeida & dale, which will also host exhibitions and seminars at the institution. In the building, the European modern style, typical of Zalszupin’s work, will interact with the Brazilian environment and spatial design. Despite the spectacular and tasteful interior, the building is hardly visible from the street, as it is surrounded by a tropical garden.
