Alessi Blow Up Magazine Rack

This magazine holder is part of the designers' "Blow Up" series, in which the form of objects is created by the play of shapes and spaces generated by the steel rods put together almost at random. Details Materials: stainless steel Dimensions: 14 x 18 x 11.25 inches About the Designer Brothers Humberto Campana, lawyer, and Fernando Campana, architect, have been working together in San Paolo since 1983. They came into the limelight in 1989 with the furniture exhibition provocatively entitled "Gli inconfortabili" (The Inconsolable), a political manifesto rather than functional objects. Their radical point of view is strengthened by using everyday materials and industrial rubbish. Handmade products represent the possibility of social redemption in a developing country. Their intention is, however, to find a way for Brazilian design, to avoid European colonization.
