notes:
Key figures in the "design art" movement, Humberto and Fernando Campana's work is highly sought after by collectors and auctioned for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This highly anticipated monograph celebrates the playful genius of their work with newly commissioned photography and detailed information on all of the Campanas' designs, including prototypes, rare one-offs, and limited and mass-production pieces.

Inspired and distilled from Brazil's vibrant and colorful culture, the Campana Brothers have consistently produce gleefully "imperfect" designs that challenge the modernist hierarchy of form and function and the relationship of art and utility. In their hands, coils of rope, stuffed toy alligators, and bubble wrap are transformed into shapes of unexpectedly graceful chairs, lounges, and other pieces of highly functional, though seemingly improbable, furniture. This element of whimsy has become a signature of their work and demonstrates an ability to marry sophisticated humor and unpredictable form.
