Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Calla is an armchair in polyurethane foam covered with leather. The project comes from the desire to find a new chair that exalt, increase and underline the potential, the visual and tactile sensations of a material such as leather. This is an important feature of the goods by Martini's, which is a synonymous of elegance and value. The projectual idea belongs to the natural world, exactly from the elegant, refined and enveloping forms of the Calla.

melt project began in a workshop called ‘nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed…constantly’ that was directed by the campana brothers and promoted through the vitra design museum. designed by portuguese product designer rui pereira, the project has become an exploration in the life of a plastic garbage bag and how it can be transformed into alternative everyday objects.
I saw this on the blog, vinography.com. It was an entry in the "Design a Champagne Chair" sponsored by Veuve Clicquot. Father's Day is coming soon…. As I always say, "Chair and chair alike."

recent work by the campana brothers 5 june – 10 august 2007 albion gallery, london http://www.albion-gallery.com the transplastic series tells a fictional story: in a world made of plastic and synthetic matter, a fertile ground is laid for transgenic creations. natural fibres recover the plastic as in an immunological response: nature grows from the plastic and overpowers it. this collection encapsulates many concepts explored throughout the campana’s trajectory; revisiting material clashes with a more mature approach. it refers back to the premise, used in 2000 with the ‘shark chair’, to challenge contrasts: of nature and plastic, cold and warm, textured and smooth surfaces. at the end of 2005, the preceding years of research evolved in an organic fashion by transforming into a collection of 31 prototypes that are to be displayed for the first time at albion gallery in london.
