This monograph on the Campana Brothers is DESIGN at its best! Fernando and Humberto Campana, based in Sao Paulo, are cutting edge designers who challenge the way we think about objects. Their work (so far) covers a wide range oeuvre of furniture, installations, lighting and objects. Their work is inspired by nature as well as by the urban slums of Rio. They are often preoccupied with recycling and at times add items of kitsch to challenge their audience.
Some of their designs are custom-made and move directly from workshop to museums. Other pieces are in limited editions that few individuals can afford. But they have also produced designs offered by Alessi, Lacoste, etc that are available to the mass marketplace. ALL inspire and ALL are collectibles! Few books have been published on their work. This book's cover (also designed by the Campana Brothers) in bright colors and fabulous stitching is another collectible that one and all will want to own.
