“The Favela chair was made with slats of wood from boxes of supermarkets that contain fruit in them. But it was observation, also. I thought the people who live in favela, they can construct by their own. Why not construct a chair myself, you know? So I started buying wood, in discount, observing the way the houses are. Because people in the favelas, they kind of fill it up, the space, with wood, plastic, without any rational thinking. But very intuitive. So I tried to have the same behavior as those people, in order to make that chair,” Fernando Campana
