Designers to know : Fernando + Humberto Campana

Fernando + Humberto Campana are major designers exposed in such places as the MoMA or the "Center Pompidou" in Paris.


Drawing inspiration from the culture of their country, Brazil, they create vibrant furnitures and items from waste objects and industrial material. Their work reveals a brand-new combination of everyday objects . Based in São Paulo, they describe their work as "very organic,very intensive, and very emotional..."


Quote to remember : "We subvert the utility of materials so as to create in our objects a restless world of experimentation, creativity and innovation".
