The first exhibition of Fernando and Humberto Campana in Tokyo will happen as of next 2 November until 18 at the Brazilian Embassy in Kita Aoyama (www.brasemb.or.jp). This show will feature some of the recent pieces of these Brazilian designers, whose work represent a new way of producing design. Coming from a country which has been influenced by different cultures such as European, Asian and African - apart from the native Indians - the Campana Brothers' work is the result of the blend of these very diverse cultures.

Unusual not only in their style, but also because they use very simple and sometimes discarded material, recycling it in order to transform cheap raw material in a sophisticated piece of design. Very representative of this is the "Favela", which is made of scraps of wood that are assembled piece by piece to be transformed in an incredibly beautiful and comfortable chair. Another example is the "Bubble-wrap chair", which is made of plastic bubble wrap and iron. In their approach to design, creativity and invention stand out.
