Edra Aster Papposus Sofa von Fernando & Humberto Compana, Italien, 2006

About the Item

Dieses ikonische Sofa Aster Papposus wurde 2006 von Fernando und Humberto Campana, besser bekannt als die Gebrüder Campana, entworfen und von Edra hergestellt. Es handelt sich um ein Sofa mit mehreren Sitzplätzen, das aus zwei ähnlichen und komplementären Volumen ohne starre Struktur besteht und aus Polyurethanschaum und Daunen besteht. Durch Überlappung und Verdrehung bilden diese beiden Module die Sitzfläche, die Rückenlehne und die Armlehne eines bequemen Sofas. Der Bezug, den Edra exklusiv für dieses Modell entworfen hat, ist aus sehr dickem Samt gefertigt, der ihn sichtbar borstig und weich zugleich macht. Mit seinem dynamischen Look und seinem ungewöhnlichen Aussehen ist dieses kultige Sofa ein echter Gesprächsstoff. Er ist ein beeindruckendes Sammlerstück, das bis zu acht bequeme Sitzplätze bietet. Da keine interne Struktur vorhanden ist, bietet dieses Sofa sehr entspannte Positionen. Es ist mit einem Pad aus einer Mischung aus Polyurethanschaum und Federn unterschiedlicher Dichte gepolstert und hat einen technisch abnehmbaren Bezug.

Campana Brothers

The Campana Brothers are among Brazil’s foremost contemporary furniture designers. Inspired by their country’s vernacular culture, Humberto and Fernando Campana combine everyday objects in unexpected ways, often waste materials like rope, cardboard, plastic tubing, and aluminum wire, to make their singular creations. Their designs have been manufactured by such companies as Alessi, Swarovski and Cappellini. And they have received numerous honors, including being named Designer of the Year both at Design Miami in 2008, and by Maison & Objet in Paris in 2012.

Humberto Campana was born in Rio Claro in 1953 and earned a bachelor’s degree in law from the University of São Paulo. Fernando was born in 1961 in Brotas, and graduated from the São Paulo School of Fine Arts with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. The brothers started working together in 1983, crafting furniture using their signature method of adaptive reuse. Their pieces frequently refer to Brazilian social and cultural traditions and entities. Among these are the country’s favelas, or shantytowns, that have grown up around major cities. An homage to the resourcefulness with which the residents of São Paulo’s favelas make use of the materials at hand, repurposing cast-off objects in ingenious designs and constructions, their Favela armchair is made of cast-off strips of wood (the first one was made from discarded slats from a fruit market), which are glued and nailed together seemingly at random. The end result, however, is a compact, solid and well-proportioned chair.

By 1997, some of the Campanas’ pieces were being produced and sold in Italy, including the Edra Vermelha armchair, constructed of cord handwoven around a steel frame. In 1998, the brothers became the first Brazilian designers to have their work exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Today their furniture is included in MoMA’s permanent collection and in those of numerous other major institutions, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Vitra Design Museum.
