A piece from the Campana's Transplastic furniture collection.

Design Miami already announced that they've commissioned Aranda/Lasch to plan the fair's structure, but now they've announced that Fernando and Humberto Campana will be named Designers of the Year at the fair in Decemeber. Part of the Prize? They get to design the VIP lounge and present a special installation.

The Brazilian brothers are best known for their quirky furniture that incorporates a hodge podge of ready made, everyday materials. You can view more of the duo's work at their official website, but Riptide has picked some of its favorite pieces after the jump.
