Sushi, by Fernando & Humberto Campana

This is the most inspiring sofa I have ever seen (for a fabric lover like myself is a feast for the senses), from the designers Fernando and Humberto Campana. It´s a whole collection made of different kind of fabrics rolled together like sushi rolls, not only sofas, but also chairs, tables, stools and bowls. If you have a look at their site, go to “Sushi” on the main “map” with their work, and delight yourself with this great collection. The collection called “Favelas” are also amazing, and for the crafters: what to say about the chair “Multidão”? And speaking about waste from the last post, they also use waste products on the furniture and objects they create (not only). I remember many years ago they used PET bottles to create increadible objects. More about their work in german here and here.

And two photos from the chair “Multidão” (“Crowd”):

About

I like summer nights, autumm mornings with hot green tea, and cats. To stand underneath waterfalls and to float on the sea looking the sky. I like also wind on my face and to get dizzy thinking about what the infinite is.

I love books, cinema, music from distant cultures, to dance at the living room (everywhere else too), and sewing! I sew since I was 8 years old, with a big interval, but the same love, emotion and pleasure as when I was a child.

From the professional point of view, I have a graduation on History, with masters degree and PhD on the relationship between Art & Literature on the work of William Blake. I worked until now mainly with Art, at a Museum and the Biennal.

At the moment I´m at home with my two small daughters, what gives me time for sewing again.

You can find things that I sew here and here.
