Fernando and Humberto Campana
Designer furniture by Fernando & Humberto Campana
"He is greatest who has the energy to be naive," claimed René Crevel in
a manifesto back in 1924. The Parisian Surrealists (and they include
Crevel) may long since be history, but their belief in the power of
dreams and the imagination strongly influenced the avant-garde of the
early 20th century. Individual aspects of that attitude are definitely
alive and kicking in the works of Fernando and Humberto Campana: The
art-peaces, the furniture, installations and everyday objects created
by the Brazilian designers stand out for their untrammeled creativity.
Sensory appeal and ugliness, beauty and misery meld in their works and
are expressed in their own intuitive approach, their blend of dreams
and personal experiences. The two brothers do not allow themselves to
be thrown off by conventional barriers or trends when exploring the
boundaries of art and design, craftsmanship and mass production. Their
naïve innocence and spontaneity – and for over two decades now they
have relied on these qualities to tap new areas – makes them worthy
successors to the Surrealists – and two of the most stunning figures in
contemporary design.
