Campana Brothers: Brazilian Design Now
From the Pizzuti Collection
October 25 - December 31, 2014
The challenge for Brazilian designers Humberto and Fernando Campana is to transform simple, humble materials into useful objects that are decadent, opulent, and totally unexpected. The brothers are attuned to the vivid life of urban Sāo Paolo and glean their inspiration from what they discover around them. Found objects, such as discarded toys, rope, scraps of wood, and strips of plastic and carpet, are the source for their designs. Experiment, substitution, meticulous craft, energy, and passion are intermingled in these extraordinary furnishings and accessories. This international exhibition from the Pizzuti Collection opens in Lancaster on October 25 and in Columbus on February 7.
