A Milan Design Week 2011 começou. E como sempre, o Brasil está muito bem
representado com as criações de Fernando e Humberto Campana. Os designers
sempre inovam, especialmente na utilização de materiais inusitados. Esse ano
eles lançam uma coleção de móveis e acessórios produzidos com couro de
avestruz, em uma parceria da Edra com a Klein Karoo, empresa sul-africana
especializada no material. A produção inclui bancos, mesas, panelas e colares.
A partir de hoje as peças estarão expostas na Trienale Design Museum, meca
da arquitetura e do design em Milão. Elas serão leiloadas e todo o dinheiro
arrecadado será doado para uma instituição de caridade sul-africana.
