Corallo Chair
Made by Edra
The Corallo Chair grows the way coral does: without a blueprint, following its own interior logic. Fernando and Humberto Campana looked to the organic formations of the sea to create a seat that reads as much as sculpture as furniture, a form that belongs equally to a gallery and a garden.
Each chair is constructed from stainless steel wire, hand-woven and welded at more than 900 individual joints. The process spans a full week of artisanal labor, involving bending, cleaning, brushing, and smoothing until the piece achieves its characteristic tension between wildness and precision. No two are identical.

The Campana Brothers, born in São Paulo, have long drawn from Brazilian craft traditions and natural abundance to create objects that resist industrial repetition. The Corallo is among their most recognized works, a piece that asks whether furniture must be planned at all.
