FERNANDO CAMPANA AND HUMBERTO CAMPANA
PROTOTYPE "TEDDY BEAR" SINGLE BED
2015
stuffed animals, aluminum
41½ x 94½ x 51¼ in. (105.4 x 240 x 130.1 cm)
In very good condition overall. This prototype is made from stuffed toys stitched together onto canvas backings, which are attached to an aluminum structure using Velcro patches. The fabric surfaces with a soft texture and vivid colors when seen in person and no visible issues. Faint surface scratches on the metal legs consistent with age and gentle use. Overall a playful and rare design by the Campana Brothers.
