Campana Brothers

The Campanas teamed up to develop furniture made by found materials – such as aluminium wire, cardboard, rope, fabric, wood scraps, tissue paper, string or furry toys.

Central to their practice is the importance of materials. The challenge, as the Campanas see it, is to transform something poor into something decadent and opulent. They always say that first comes the material, then the form and finally they elaborate the function of the product by studying its ergonomics, limitations and capabilities. In other words, the material dictates the form and the function in their work -how cool is that?!

For them, design is to bring emotion, fun, and joy to people, not only functional form. They also don’t want to put a standardization on their products. They want to create the concept that each product is different to the other. This humanizes the design, they want to have a human touch. Because of that, their products are semi-industrialized, they need the human hand to build them.

These are some of their prominent works :

Anemon Chair
Cartoon Chair
Corallo Chair
Favela Chair - awesome, isn't it?
Sushi Chair
Vermelha Chair
