Fernando e Humberto Campana, Vaso Tegola

Fernando and Humberto Campana’s vase draws on the ready-made technique by re-utilising industrially manufactured terracotta roof tiles normally used in the building industry for constructing the roofs of houses. The Campana brothers’ project involved recycling modified roof tiles to be combined with wicker, which craftsmen have cleverly woven into unusual-shaped vases.

Vaso Tegola by Fernando and Humberto Campana was prototyped in Albisola (Italy) on occasion of the travelling exhibition “Changing the world with a vase of flowers”, MUDAC-Museum of Design and Contemporary Applied Arts, Lausanne, 2011; Pierluigi and Natalina Remotti Foundation-City of Camogli, 2010-2011; Italian Cultural Institute of Madrid-Italian Embassy in Spain, 2010.
