Campana brothers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Campana Brothers (Humberto Campana, b. 1953 and Fernando Campana, b. 1961) are the world's most famous Brazilian designers.

In 1983, the two brothers teamed up to develop furniture made by ordinary material - including waste products. The originality of their artistic work caused controversy and brought massive critical attention. By the early 90s, they had already gained considerable international acclaim, notably in Europe and in the United States. Some of their products also began to be produced and sold in Italy.

The Campana Brothers fame peaked in 1998, when they became the first Brazilian artists to expose their work at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
