Enveloping armchair, with steel frame painted with epoxy powders and solid aluminum legs. To build the armchair you need several days of work and a very high manual specialization in the plot. The approximately five hundred meters of special rope with acrylic core covered with cotton, are first woven on the structure in order to form a frame and then knotted by successive overlaps, such as to form a random interweaving, unmistakable sign of the Campana Brothers.
Fernando e Humberto Campana
Humberto Campana, lawyer and Fernando Campana, architect, have been working together in San Paolo since 1983 in the field of artistic design. Their radical point of view is strengthened by the use of poor materials and industrial rubbish. Hand-made products represent the possibility of social redemption in a poor country. Their intention is to find a way for Brazilian design. In Italy, in 1997,they designed lights for O Luce. Some of their pieces appear in the International Design Year Book of 1997, edited by Philippe Starck. In 1998 the Moma in New York dedicated the "Progetto 66" exhibition to them, coupled with Ingo Maurer.
