Favela by Studio Campana for Edra

SOLD Favela chair by Brazilian Designers, Fernando & Humberto Campana for Edra Italy.

Designed in 1991, the inimitable Favela chair quickly acquired design icon status due to the unique ‘craft’ like construction, and also because it references the Brazilian housing crisis, as interpreted by the Campana brothers.

Design Inspiration Favelas are the timber ‘shanty’ towns of Rio de Janeiro, so named after the local Favela tree offcuts used to construct them.

Fabrication ‘pinus’ wood offcuts of graded sizes are fixed onto a timber frame in a deliberately random way to create the chair.

Hidden Features Each chair is unique. The ultimate in sustainable utilitarian design !
