Feb 12, 2010

The glass objects designed by Fabrica’s Portuguese designer Gonçalo Campos for Secondome will be part of the permanent collection of Mude - Museu do Design da Moda in Lisbon.

Mude is one of the world's leading museums of 20th century design. The collection consists of works by some 230 designers representing trends in design from around the world. There are works by design icons such as Philippe Starck, Charles Eames, George Nelson, Arne Jacobsen, Paul Henningsen, Vener Panton, Masanori Umeda, Henning Koppel, and Tom Dixon, and includes almost 200 design classics embracing innovative furnishings, glass, and jewelry from 1937 to the present.

Past and future merge in the mouth-blown glass collections conceived by Fabrica’s young designers for the Secondome gallery in Rome. Among them, domes, bon-bon and fruit bowls, decanters, vases, centrepieces, sculptures, carafes and intricate candelabra.

Gonçalo Campos worked in Fabrica Design in 2008 and 2009. Born in Lisbon in 1986, he obtained his degree in Product Design from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon in 2008. During his years at university he spent a period of study in Hatfield, UK. His interest focuses on material research, especially materials’ properties and the way they interrelate.
