Brothers:  Fernando and Humberto Campana

Alligator Chair, 2004

PVC hoses, stainless steel. Manufactured by Edra, Italy.
 Lengths of PVC garden hoses wrapped around a

 stainless steel creating a comfortable seat.
 This chair was born from the intention to seek solutions 

with products that are usually
 discarded and banalized by daily use.

Mixed plush toys, iron. Made by Estudio Campana, Brazil.

 Lions, dogs, alligators and all sorts of stuffed animals mixed to 

form the unconventional upholstery
 of this chair. Once more the brothers Campana 

transform modest material into design.

California Rolls Chair, 2002

Stainless steel. Manufactured by Edra, Italy.
 The irregular woven form is shaped by hand to resemble the sprawling
 coral reefs found off the coast of Brazil. The brothers describe the
 Corallo as a three-dimensional scribble.

Discos Chair

Jenette Chair

Mixed media. Collection of Fernando and Humberto Campana.
 "In the favelas of Brazil, they make mats and bedspreads of all 

sorts simply by overlapping pieces of fabric. 

We began with this and we thought of sushi.
 Textiles of different types all rolled together."

rope, stainless steel. Manufactured by Edra, Italy.
 Born from a tangle of cords bought on a street market in Paulo,

 this chair projected Fernando and
 Humberto Campana on to the international stage. 

The Vermelha Chair marked the beginning of industrial production
 of their pieces of furniture. 

The way the rope should be braided to the metallic structure was videotaped and
 sent to the Italian company.

wood. Manufactured by Edra, Italy.
 Inspired by the favelas constructions in Sa Paulo, using scraps of wood they
 found on the streets, the Campana Brothers create this intricately fabricated chair.
