At the Milan Salone del Mobile, Fendi's iconic Bag Bugs collaboration with the Campana brothers unveiled the artwork "Armchair of a Thousand Eyes." Ferdinand and Humberto Campana are furniture designers whose distinctive style is characterized by their Brazilian sensibilities: color, eclecticism, creative chaos, and simple output. Based on the concepts of "transformation" and "reinvention," their work has endowed familiar materials with a rare quality. In 1998, they held their first international exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2007, they designed the sets and costumes for the Marseille National Ballet's Métamorphoses show, and in 2008, they created the scenery for the musical "Peter and the Wolf." These achievements have earned them the "Designer of the Year" award from Design Miami in 2008 and the "Designers of the Year Maison & Objet" award in 2012. To create these pieces, artisans in Fendi's workshops crafted Bag Bugs in a variety of sizes, colors, and textures. Using a variety of furs, including vibrantly colored goat, Mongolian lamb, mouton, and rabbit, over 100 variations were created. Meanwhile, the Campana brothers transformed their signature "banquet chair" from gold-plated brass, dismantling each Bag Bug and stitching them together by hand to reassemble them into a unique, one-of-a-kind armchair. Regarding this collaboration, Humberto Campana said, "When I first saw Bag Bugs—those little Fendi monster charms—I knew they would be perfect for creating a catchy chair." Meanwhile, Fendi's creative director, Silvia Fendi, commented: "I have known the Campana brothers for several years and have always been interested in them. We share a passion for creativity and a love for Brazil, which for me was also a source of inspiration for Bag Bugs."
