Fernando And Umberto Campana
Drawing inspiration from Brazilian street life and carnival culture, the brothers FERNANDO AND HUMBERTO CAMPANA combine found objects “ such as scraps of wood and fabric off-cuts with advanced technologies to create a vibrant, energetic and definitively Brazilian approach to design. Taking their cue from everyday scenarios and using unexpected combinations of found materials “ such as rubber hose, tissue paper, string or furry toys, Fernando and Humberto Campana transform modest materials into objects that celebrate the discarded and mundane and are instilled with the spirit of contemporary Brazil that they describe as “zest for life”.
They have worked with the Italian companies O Luce, Fontana Arte and Cappellini Progetto Oggetto. They are currently working for Edra. They are also working for Alessi and are developing new products for Vitra. Their work is displayed in some of the world’s most important museums. In 2004 they created clothes accessories for Firma Casa in Sao Paolo and for Melissa, the Brazilian company from Rio Grande do Sul.
