Campana brothers
The Campana Brothers (Humberto Campana, b. 1953 and Fernando Campana, b. 1961) are Brazilian designers.
In 1984 they co-founded Estudio Campana, which became recognised for its furniture design and intriguing pieces - such as the Vermelha (1993) and Favela (1998) chairs. In later years, the studio expanded its repertoire to the areas of architecture, landscaping, scenography, fashion, among others.
In fashion, Estudio Campana signed a collection for Brazilian jewelers H. Stern (2001). For the last fifteen years they have collaborated with Melissa to create footwear and accessories.
Artistic partnerships include the creation of the costumes for “Virtually There” ballet hosted by Performa Visionaries at Mana Contemporary in New Jersey (2006), sets and costumes for the Marseille National Ballet ‘Metamorphose’ show (2007) and the scenography of the ‘Peter and the Wolf’ musical, presented at the Guggenheim Museum in New York (2008).
