Quick Bio

Founded in 1983 in Sao Paulo by brothers Fernando (born 1961) and Humberto (born 1953) Campana, Estudio Campana became famous for its furniture design and the creation of intriguing objects, such as the Vermelha and Favela chairs. Since, it has grown to include interior design, architecture, landscaping, scenography, fashion, artistic partnerships and more. The Campanas‘ work incorporates the idea of transformation, reinvention and the integration of craftsmanship into mass production. Giving radiance to common materials, they show much creativity in their design, but also stay in touch with their Brazilian roots – the colors, the combinations, the creative chaos, the triumph of simplesolutions. Campana pieces are included in the permanent collections of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the MoMa in New York, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in Sao Paulo and also the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein.
