the plastic parts seem to be redundant. just to remind us plastic is an every-day boredom?

The Campana brothers have a delicious tropical playfulness on their work which is both inspiring and exciting.
Throughout their carreer they have been exploring everyday boredom and creating experiences, transforming banal objects and tired technologies into fun, colourful and exotic pieces.
I’m proud of being an young brazilian designer and have their work ethics of sustainability as an aspiration.

Thanks for sharing that somewhat uninteresting piece of information. From your point of view, what language would the chairs have to speak if were able to speak for themselves? Portuguese would be cute.
In this world of abundant polished nothingness, I think they are genious.
Go Campana bros, go!

I am somewhat familiar with the Campana bros work; however, any amount of rationalisation regarding the symbolic/poetic nature of this most recent design cannot make up for the fact that (from my point of view) the work is aesthetically unpleasing and unable to speak for itself.
