Far from the usual entrance halls is the Library Hall of CASA COR São Paulo 2016 , designed by interior designers Roberto Cimino and Nelson Amorim. The space combines a reading room and office in a single location.
To create the project, the duo was inspired by the Modern Art Week of 1922 and brought a totally vintage and retro feel to the space, bringing together the best of Brazilian literature from the period, in old books arranged on two elegant ebonized shelves, designed by the professionals. and developed by Marcenaria Bregannó, which frame the pre-existing secular pillars of the original construction of the Jockey Club of São Paulo.
The Library Hall presents visitors with a tropical Brazilian atmosphere, characterized by the fiber rug with tribal art from the Amazon, which was superimposed on another graffiti - both by By Kamy -, and also by the wallpaper by Wallcovering, with prints of green cycads, that refer to the vegetation of our country. Another highlight that draws the attention of visitors are the Adam's rib leaves on the chandelier, by the brand Scatto, designed by the designers exclusively for the exhibition.
A collection of works marks the environment, highlighting works by Tomie Ohtake from the 60s, Mauricio Nogueira Lima (1962), Ismael Nery, Leon Ferrari, Hércules Barsotti, Alfredo Volpi and even a sculpture by Victor Brecheret.
The highlight of the project is the hall totem, located in the center of the space, which has an architectural function. With a wooden base and glass up to the ceiling, it was created to give a sense of unity, as if it formed a single wall. Back to concern with art and its exhibition, allows the public to have close visual contact with a drawing of organic shapes, signed by Tarsila do Amaral.
To complete the vintage atmosphere, the appeal of the curves of 50s and 60s design, expressed in Artefacto furniture, invites you to enjoy moments of reflection, reading and contemplation of the years of significant transformation in the arts in Brazil.
