champagnyah!




Post homemade veggie burritos and pre-vegan birthday cake, Ben (who studied furniture design at RISD) was discussing different wood-making techniques last nite and referred in passing to the Campana Brothers, Brazilian brothas-from-the-same-mutha-design partners who have been creating innovative sculpture/design installations using found objects since the '80s. This led to an unbelievable discovery: their insanely trippy, hellz "cutting edge" website. We all sat around the computer kind of dumbfounded and slack-jawed, even though we couldn't even load all the pages since it "requires a(n impossibly) fast connection and Macromedia Flash Player 7." Website stills found above. Keep the sound on, yallz. Also note the wee arrows pointing you to the next page, it took us awhile to figure that out. The website is maybe a bit  TOO complex/labyrinthine, i.e. not so user-friendly, but mad props for the design, it really is pretty outstanding.

Here they is (Fernando & Humberto)...i want that headdress.
The Anemona Chair, which reminded me immediately of the badass tutu chair my lovely Londontown flatmate Olivia created for her thesis project for Liberty's of London:
