This chair is created by the Campana brothers exclusively to Moss in a numbered and limited edition of 25 pieces.
Fernando and Humberto Campana design through eyes that are fiercely regional, political, and socioeconomic. Their irreverence is tempered by a humility and an appreciation of the artfully poetic. They often combine found or mass-produced objects like scraps of wood, stuffed animals, and discarded fabric scraps with advanced technologies. Their work is infused with personal commentary on issues of waste, resourcefulness, poverty, and perfection.

Stripped by Henry Ellis-Paul
Henry Ellis-Paul is a 24-year-old British-born product designer who is currently based in London. He has previously worked designing packaging, toys and lighting, and believes that an understanding of different areas of the industry helps him maintain a healthy approach to his work. Henry is particularly interested in products that challenge convention while not compromising on functionality. Creating designs that have character is important and something he likes to achieve in his work.
Stripped consists of two key parts; the seat strips and the arm-rests. By using putting these segments together tables, benches, seats and sofas can be constructed. The simplicity of the design means the furniture can be regularly and easily moved, altered or added-to to fit the space it’s in, as well as the activities that surround it. In short, Stripped supplies the customer with the building blocks to make a piece of high-end designer furniture.

SuperFoam is a re-creation of naturally occurring reticulated foam structures through a casting process that facilitates designing the properties of the foam itself. By developing the casting process the properties of the foam could be controlled so the chair flexed and deformed to create a supportive structure.

Despite the fact that the designer claims that he doesn’t really see himself as a furniture designer. “I’m more like a material designer,” he explains. “These things I make could end up as furniture or as textiles, it’s more like creating media that can be used to construct a coat or a carpet or a curtain.” Knit, woven, knotted or piled like spaghetti, the series includes seating, rugs, and multifunctional interior objects.
