Panda Lounger: Campana Campaign Against Waste
Yes, that is indeed a collection of stuffed pandas working together to form a lounge chair. A limited 25 of these chairs are available exclusively at Moss, with its flagship showroom/gallery in Soho and a new one in LA. The Campana Brothers use mass-produced objects to turn them into pieces of art that “embodies a highly personal commentary on issues of waste, resourcefulness, poverty, and contemporary ideas of perfection, as well as on the debate over craft vs. production, globalization vs. nationalism, art vs. design, and historicism vs. the contemporary,” Furnitureseen says.
The Brazilian brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana design through a fiercely regional, political, and socioeconomic filter, fueled by an innate sense of irreverence tempered by a gentle humility and an appreciation of the poetic.
