dear designboom reader,

last week, brazilian designer and architect fernando campana passed away at the age of 61.

fernando and his brother, humberto, founded the campana studio in 1984, and have since created work of international recognition that remains deeply rooted in brazilian culture and traditions.

their furniture designs have been exhibited on multiple occasions and cities around the world, including venice, rio de janeiro, and são paulo, where their exhibition, ‘polifonia campana’, is currently on view.

thanks for reading,
