Edra
Favela Armchair
The Favela armchair, produced by Edra since 2003, represents the most famous example of the characteristic "poor design" style of its creators, the Brazilian brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana. Conceived for the first time in 1991 and initially made with recycled materials, the Favela armchair is above all a small essay of conceptual art, inspired by the habit of the inhabitants of the Brazilian favelas of building their homes and furnishings with waste materials. The armchair is made up of many small strips of natural wood nailed by hand in an artisanal process that makes each armchair a unique piece and has a different arrangement from all the others, with strips of several sizes each nailed according to its own angle.

Contrary to the work of many other companies with eccentric and original products, Edra bases her work on an in-depth study of materials, which often lasts several years and in some cases also leads to the license of innovative technical solutions designed to obtain maximum comfort.

Designed by
Fernando & Humberto Campana
The brothers Fernando (1963-2022) and Humberto (1953-) Campana, united since 1983 in the Estudio Campana, are among the most sparkling names in contemporary Brazilian design on the international scene. Originally from São Paulo, they have achieved great fame with their evocative creations made from materials found in the favelas of their city, such as wooden planks, fabric scraps and bamboo canes. Their aesthetic, reminiscent of that of Arte Povera, places great emphasis on the creative assembly of the elements, which give life to surprising furniture with a strong conceptual impact. Precisely for this reason they found one of the most experimental and courageous Italian design companies as their partner of choice: the Tuscan Edra, which has edited many of their most famous creations. They have also worked with brands such as BD Barcelona Design, Venini, Alessi, Bisazza, Ghidini 1961, Louis Vuitton and Oluce, as well as exhibiting at relevant galleries such as the London Carpenters Workshop. A well-matched duo (Fernando is an architect by training, Humberto is a sculptor), the Campanas were awarded as designer of the year during the 2008 Design Miami event and obtained a similar recognition in Paris at Maison & Objet 2012.Read more
