Campana Brothers, Humberto Campana (b. 1953) and Fernando Campana (1961–2022), were internationally acclaimed Brazilian designers whose work transformed everyday and unconventional materials into distinctive pieces of contemporary design. Founded in São Paulo in 1984, their studio became renowned for its experimental approach, combining Brazilian cultural influences, craftsmanship, humour and a strong sense of material innovation.
Their creations often blur the boundaries between design, art and sculpture, incorporating recycled, discarded and humble materials into expressive and unexpected forms. Among their best-known works are the Vermelha Chair (1993) and Favela Chair (1998), both now part of major international museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Vitra Design Museum.
Following Fernando Campana's death in 2022, Humberto Campana has continued to develop the studio's creative legacy, maintaining its commitment to experimentation, Brazilian identity and socially and environmentally conscious design.
