This was a very special year for the brand’s expansion, with Rio de Janeiro and Brasília receiving the first two CASACOR franchises – each with its own yearbook, following the model of the São Paulo headquarters, which is still in use today.
The Rio de Janeiro exhibition took place in the mansion of the traditional Catão family, in the Urca neighborhood. A former resident of the address, socialite and decorator Lourdes Catão was invited to design the dining room.
In São Paulo, the event was held in a Portuguese-style house, originally built in the 1940s, in Jardim América. The Lar Escola São Francisco once again benefited from part of the proceeds, and the restaurant remained under the management of Chez Nous.
