Campana, “Banco Peludinho”, 2024

The brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana were partners since 1983, being recognized worldwide for their work in design. Their art, which was previously strictly in furniture, now extends beyond the limits of multidisciplinarity and establishes design as a path for telling stories, uniting architecture, fashion, scenography and landscape architecture. Through their studio, Estúdio Campana, the brothers have pushed the envelope in terms of the resignification, recovery and reuse of materials, proposing simple and creative solutions, while recovering manual practice. The collective popular mindset of Brazil, with its colors and shapes, is translated into dramatic pieces full of movement and meaning, promoting the art of design as a tool for the exchange of knowledge, transformation and social inclusion. Humberto Campana has led the works with Campana Studio and Foundation since 2022.

Recognized worldwide, the Campana Brothers’ disruptive designs have always consistently emphasized versatility and sustainability, particularly through the originality and representativeness of their materials. Their work imparts new meanings materials with simple yet creative solutions that celebrate and conserve manual craftsmanship.

The Peludinho, presented as part of an open series in two different sizes, is produced exclusively by Estúdio Campana for the Campana Institute, with proceeds supporting the institute’s work. These stools are crafted using wood and leftover sheepskin from the Bolotas collection. The Bolotas collection takes its name from its initial prototype, which resembled a soft, rounded acorn. Inspired by stone walls, the collection combines certified natural sheepskin with stainless steel frames and legs crafted from Brazilian wood. Each piece is produced with sustainable practices, using minimal water and a mercury-free dyeing process.

Reconhecido mundialmente, o design disruptivo dos Campana sempre esteve pautado na polivalência e sustentabilidade, sobretudo na representatividade e originalidade dos materiais, que são ressignificados, a partir de soluções simples e criativas, resgatando o fazer manual.

O “Peludinho”, apresentado como uma série aberta de banquinhos em dois tamanhos diferentes, é produzido pelo Estúdio Campana exclusivamente para o Instituto Campana. Com renda revertida para o instituto, eles são produzidos em várias cores diferentes, utilizando madeira e sobras de pele de carneiro da coleção “Bolotas”. Já a coleção “Bolotas” traz o título pensando a partir do seu primeiro protótipo, que se mostrou como uma bolota macia e redonda. Inspirada inicialmente nas paredes de pedra, a coleção “Bolotas” utiliza pele natural de carneiro certificada sobre estruturas de aço inox e pés de madeira brasileira. Cada peça é feita com pele de carneiro certificada, com mínima utilização de água e sem mercúrio no processo de tingimento.
