DESIGNERS
FRATELLI CAMPANA (HUMBERTO CAMPANA & FERNANDO 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.

STORY
The aesthetic-constructive approach devised by brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana for the Blow up series is characterized by a light poetic touch. The form of these works echoes the game of Shanghai and is designed by the movement of solids and voids generated by steel sticks, assembled almost randomly.
Blow up objects are real metal sculptures, witnessing the creators' attempt to poetically mediate the industrial process with the traditional techniques of Brazilian craftsmanship, particularly those used in bamboo processing.
