Mathias Schwartz-Clauss provides an interpretation of their work of the past 20 years, Massimo Morozzi, artistic director of Edra, offers an account of the Campanas' collaboration with his company. Adelia Borges, writer, curator and teacher in the field of design, describes current-day popular culture in Brazil. Finally, Fernando and Humberto Campana contribute nine collages that play with the images of each group's exhibits.
The catalogue's third section groups all exhibits according to the exhibition's concept, reproducing them in full colour and providing technical details as well as extended captions.
Humberto Campana, lawyer and Fernando Campana, architect, have been working together in San Paolo since 1983 in the field of artistic design. They came into the limelight in 1989 with the furniture exhibition provocatively entitled "Gli inconfortabili" (The Inconsolable), a political manifesto rather than functional objects.
Their Sao Paulo-based office, Campana Objetos, has become renowned worldwide in the past five years as one of the most interesting ateliers for the design and production of contemporary furniture.
