summer workshops by campana brothershumberto and fernando campana – portrait © designboom
what would the world be if everything was pretty? boring according to the campana brothers. their style promotes ugliness. at a workshop held at politecnica di design milan, sponsored by 3M the campana brothers discussed a short history of design in brazil and how they developed their style. first discovered by massimo morozzi for their rope chair, they have since developed pieces for brands such as alessi, edra and cappellini. the brothers prefer to work with their hands using techniques common to villages of brazil.
we asked humberto campana what the theme of the workshop was
as part of the workshop participants were given products produced by 3M; sponges, sticky tape and steel wool to create their designs – here are some of the projects after 4 days of experimenting alongside fernando and humberto campana.
portable housing constructed by using a wire screen as a mould wrapped in sticky tape
