Edra
Their non-conventional debut in 1987 was based around the "I Nuovissimi" collection, furniture pieces conceived by young, relatively unknown designers. The company grew rapidly with its innovative approach and art direction of Milan-based architect Massimo Morozzi. The aptitude of talent scouts has allowed the company to bring together some of the most interesting new designers, such as Alessandro Mendini, Masanori Umeda from Japan, Francesco Binfaré, Fernando and Humbero Campana from Brazil, Ross Lovegrove from Wales, and some top architects, such as Zaha Hadid and the Australian studio Denton Corker and Marshall to develop products that are grounded in fresh, contemporary ideas. Flexible in its organisation, Edra makes resourceful use of the skills of its local area to create innovative products, at times revolutionising classic upholstered furniture.
Fernando & Humberto Campana
Born in the province of Sao Paolo in 1961, Fernando Campana studied industrial design at the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture after graduating as an architect. While his brother Humberto Campana was born in 1953 and followed the same course in industrial design after studying law. From their working studio in Sao Paulo they began to build an international reputation following their exhibition 'The Uncomfortables' that launched in 1989. It was this show that caught the eye of Massimo Morozzi, Art Director for Edra, who today is one of the Campana's biggest supporters. Since 1994 the Campana brother have collaborated with Edra on a collection that is both provocative and fun. Their work is found in the permanent collections of museums around the world, and as well as an ongoing collaboration with Edra, they have worked with Alessi, Vitra, Cappellini and Brazilian shoe maker Melissa.
