Fernando + Humberto Campana: Their art & their curated exhibit at the Copper Hewitt



By Karen Uribe

If you’ve heard of the Vermelha chair, you’ve probably heard of the Campana brothers.

They are a two-man team of Brazilian brothers that are among the most ingenious designers in the modern art world. Their native Brazil is their home & inspiration. Each one of their creations are always wild, sensual & completely surprising. They say their inspiration comes from everything they see in Brazil. From the kids playing on the street, the street vendors selling all kinds of fruits, the poverty, the Favelas, the dense & lush scenery of the Amazon with it’s wild life & swamps. It all comes to life in each one of their creations.
