Architect, art director and interior designer, Italian Paola Navone occupies a prominent place on the international design scene, being recognized and admired worldwide for her collections created for brands such as Armani/Casa, Alessi, Bisazza, Poliform, Dríade, Swatch, among others.

The soul of this multifaceted professional is connected to the flavors and colors of the world, as well as the Western Hemisphere: inexhaustible source of inspiration. But what moves her creative process is the incessant curiosity to discover how the materials dialogue with the forms and structures.

And it was this repertoire that made her a reference when searching in the past, new ways to feel the present and try to unveil what the future holds, generating a work that goes through furniture collections, commercial and residential spaces, as well as scenography for exhibitions and events. This trajectory has led Paola Navone to receive important awards.

Humberto Campana

Designer

Created in 1984 in São Paulo by Fernando (1961) and Humberto (1953), Estudio Campana is recognized for the design of furniture and intriguing pieces. Currently, the studio operates in the areas of architecture, landscape design, set design, fashion in addition to special projects and commissions.

The São Paulo studio celebrates 35 years, internationally recognized as a pioneer of disruptive design, which led them to create an innovative language in their field. Proudly rooted in Brazilian culture and traditions, their work carries in its core universal values, such as freedom and human dignity, through the search for our identity from life experiences.

Their creative process elevates everyday materials to nobility, bringing not only creativity to design, but also Brazilian characteristics - colors, mixtures, creative chaos - the triumph of simple solutions, in an artistic and poetic way.

The Campana pieces are part of permanent collections of renowned cultural institutions, such as Centre Pompidou and Musée Des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, MoMa, New York, Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo and Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein.

In 2009, the Campana brothers founded the Instituto Campana in order to preserve their ever-growing collection for future generations and promote design as a tool for transformation through social and educational programs.
