About the Item
A striking icon of contemporary Brazilian design, the “Boa” sofa, created by celebrated designers Fernando and Humberto Campana in 2002, stands as a bold testament to the Campana Brothers’ boundary-pushing approach to furniture. Blurring the lines between art, sculpture, and design, this extraordinary piece captures their signature aesthetic—marked by organic forms, playful irreverence, and exceptional craftsmanship.
The "Boa" sofa immediately captivates with its sinuous, serpentine silhouette. Its construction consists of a tubular structure, meticulously hand-braided into a mesmerizing knot-like formation. This intricate weaving of forms evokes a sense of endless movement and fluidity, challenging conventional notions of seating. The structure is generously padded with multi-density polyurethane foam and down feathers, ensuring not only remarkable comfort but also a unique, cocoon-like experience for its users.
Upholstered in a sumptuous velvet fabric, this particular example showcases a hypnotic interplay of deep cobalt blue and rich violet tones, shifting subtly under changing light conditions. The velvety sheen emphasizes the tactile softness of the piece, while the iridescent shades create an almost otherworldly effect, enhancing its sculptural presence in any space.
Measuring an impressive 137.8 inches (350 cm) in width, 74.8 inches (190 cm) in depth, and 25.6 inches (65 cm) in height, the “Boa” sofa is designed to command attention. It invites relaxed lounging, as users are encouraged to sprawl, nestle, or even drape themselves amidst its voluminous, enveloping forms. More than a functional object, this sofa is a design statement—an invitation to engage, interact, and surrender to comfort.
The "Boa" sofa is emblematic of the Campana Brothers’ radical design ethos, drawing on themes of informality, humor, and Brazilian vernacular influences. This piece is celebrated worldwide for its audacious design and tactile allure, making it a prized acquisition for collectors, galleries, and design aficionados alike.
A sculptural centerpiece with undeniable impact, this sofa encapsulates the daring, poetic spirit of 21st-century Brazilian design.
