New designs by Fernando and Humberto Campana are inspired by marine and terrestrial fauna from equatorial regions – real “Transgenic mutations” as the brothers from Sao Paolo describe them. A crocodile becomes a soft and fleshy sofa, a giant starfish with its long tentacles a comfortable chair. The forms are intended to be attractive and inviting but at the same time vaguely unsettling.
Kaiman Jacaré (as the Brazilian crocodile is known as) is a sofa with no internal structure that is made up of different shaped elements that are inserted together and resemble a mass of alligators.
Aster Papposus is a star shaped chair (also without structure) covered in a shiny, scaly fabric that accentuates its marine character. Under the art direction of Massimo Morozzi, the showroom in via Ciovassino has become an exuberant tropical forest. E.S.
