“We have been in touch with BD Barcelona Design’s art director Ramón Úbeda for a couple of years now. We discussed ideas that have matured and resulted into the buffet we crafted. We were inspired by the idea of an Aquarium to create this piece’, explains Fernando Campana.
Humberto continues: ‘We love to create hybrids using two different materials; a warm one and a cold one. It has become part of our design language. I wanted to play with the idea of opposite weights too; the lightness of the glass and the massiveness of the wood. The immaterialness of the first one and the physicalness of the second one’.
And Fernando adds: ‘The sideboard is made out of wood, ash or pinewood, and colored glass doors. There are glass shelves inside the buffet in order to let the light and the transparency of the material. Two different color versions will be available”.
Campana’s fearlessly playful furniture designs, are all over the world and at Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris will take a presentation of unexpected materials,which are the subject of an eye-opening new exhibition, Manufatura.
As always Campana Brothers will have a lot of design lovers looking forward to see their new collection, don’t miss it!
