Campana Brothers are the Missoni of interior design. Fernando and Humberto Campana, the hottest Brazilian duo entered the international scene due to their fantasy and strong colours, due to the use of natural materials.
Very known among art collectors, the two, apart from exploiting the inspiration that Brazil offers them each time when they create design pieces, they aim to be original and to surpass the barrier between design and art.

“We have a deep connection with our country and we want to show the entire world the Brazilian identity and traditions that originate from the Indians, Africans and Europeans” the two brothers said at the recent Milan Design Week where presented at Palazzo Morando a collection of lamps for Baccarat, a “mestizo” between crystal, rattan and bamboo, a bridge between the Old World and the New World, between art and nature.

“Brazil has a multitude of materials and natural fibers that haven’t yet been exploited and that we want to combine with the European elegance.” And this is how the project between them and Baccarat the French company specialized in the production of crystal objects is born. “This collaboration was born from the idea of mixing the nature, its cyclicity and the refinement of the Baccarat manufacturer” explains Humberto.

And referring to the process of creating the lamps, the two explain how spectacular each stage of the process was:
“There are almost 120 bamboo species. In our town, Brotas, two hours from San Paulo, there is a great tradition in cultivating bamboo. There is an entire show where the bamboo is spread in the sun so it would dry, it’s unique. Then, the bamboo is fold with the help of fire, steam and sand so that it wouldn’t breake.”
