Campana Brothers
The Campana Brothers are among Brazil’s foremost contemporary furniture designers. Inspired by their country’s vernacular culture, Humberto and Fernando Campana combine everyday objects in unexpected ways, often waste materials like rope, cardboard, plastic tubing, and aluminum wire, to make their singular creations. Their designs have been manufactured by such companies as Alessi, Swarovski and Cappellini. And they have received numerous honors, including being named Designer of the Year both at Design Miami in 2008, and by Maison & Objet in Paris in 2012.
Humberto Campana was born in Rio Claro in 1953 and earned a bachelor’s degree in law from the University of São Paulo. Fernando was born in 1961 in Brotas, and graduated from the São Paulo School of Fine Arts with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. The brothers started working together in 1983, crafting furniture using their signature method of adaptive reuse. Their pieces frequently refer to Brazilian social and cultural traditions and entities. Among these are the country’s favelas, or shantytowns, that have grown up around major cities. An homage to the resourcefulness with which the residents of São Paulo’s favelas make use of the materials at hand, repurposing cast-off objects in ingenious designs and constructions, their Favela armchair is made of cast-off strips of wood (the first one was made from discarded slats from a fruit market), which are glued and nailed together seemingly at random. The end result, however, is a compact, solid and well-proportioned chair.
By 1997, some of the Campanas’ pieces were being produced and sold in Italy, including the Edra Vermelha armchair, constructed of cord handwoven around a steel frame. In 1998, the brothers became the first Brazilian designers to have their work exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Today their furniture is included in MoMA’s permanent collection and in those of numerous other major institutions, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Vitra Design Museum.

- "Sobreiro" Cabinet by the Campana Brothers, Brazil 2018By Campana BrothersLocated in Utrecht, NLMade in limited edition of 150, this cabinet is part of the exclusive Sobreiro Collection of cork furniture designed by the Campana Brothers. The Brazilian designers brought a sculptural whimsy to the lightweight, sustainable material of cork, which is visible in the gently rounded edges and sculpted handles of this cabinet. With this Sobreiro Cabinet, the Campana brothers brought forth that multitude of textures and effects that cork can create. It is composed of cork and a wooden structure made from expanded natural cork agglomerate, a material made by heating the cork and does not contain any additive. Besides aesthetics, cork's sustainability is key to its appeal. Cork (Sobreiro is Portuguese for cork oak tree) is one of the most sustainable natural materials to harvest, most importantly because its trees never get cut down; every nine years, a tree's bark is removed and turned into everyday objects, such as wine stoppers, shoes, and now, design furniture. For the Campana Brothers cork...Category
