Brazilian designers and brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana are widely known for the furniture they fashion out of everyday materials like cardboard, rope, and scrap metal. In 1998 their work was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. For this circa-2007 piece, the pair stitched stuffed panda toys to a stainless-steel chair. It is the seventh chair produced in an edition of 25.
