- About this work
-
Founded in 1983 in São Paulo by brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana, Estudio Campana has became famous for its furniture design and the creation of intriguing objects, and has grown to produce interior design, architecture, landscaping, scenography, fashion, artistic partnerships and more. The Campanas’ work incorporates the idea of transformation, reinvention and the integration of craftsmanship in mass production. Made from coiled foam and carpet, Vitória-Régia stool references the Victoria Amazonica, a species of flowering plant. The largest of the water lily family, its leaves can grow up to 3 metres in diameter, floating on the Amazon River.
