| Humberto and Fernando Campana |
Brazil |
| 1983: |
Humberto Campana, a lawyer, and Ferdinando Campana, an architect, have been working together in San Paulo in the field of artistic design |
| 1989: |
They
started in 1989 with a furniture exhibition, provocatively called
"The Inconsolable", a political manifesto rather than functional
objects.
Their radical point of view is strengthened by the use of poor
materials and industrial trash. In a poor country the handmade
production represents an opportunity for social redemption.
However, their purpose is that of finding a Brazilian way for
design, trying to avoid the European colonization.
