Inspired by the luxurious art deco-style properties that were popular in the metropolises of the 1930s and 1940s, Paulo Azevedo’s living room features a masculine style and fine fabrics (Spanish velvet on the walls and pure silk on the sofa and curtains). “I created a more informal living room that allows for other functions, such as a computer corner,” says the architect. The color palette is dominated by earthy and contrasting tones. The natural fiber rug covers the 50 m2 space and was handmade using leftovers from other pieces.
