La Materia del Design
Torino - Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti
from 27.06.2008 to 31.07.2008
The materials and colours of Brazil: on show are the biomorphic creations of the brothers Humberto and Fernando Campana, leaders of contemporary design. The shapes and colours of nature inspire the work of the Campana brothers right from their early days in San Paolo, Brasil, in the 1990s. Creations such as the Vermhela and Favela small armchairs have made them famous all over the world and won a place for their designs in important collections, from the MoMA in New York to the Vitra Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany.
The exhibition presents the designs produced by the Italian firm Edra, which has worked with the Campana brothers since 1998.
Organised by Guido Curto, installation by Claudia Kmiecik.
