01/29 - Adriana Fontana Interior Design - Café Botânico. The professional brought nature, with its colors and shapes, to create the space. "With the pandemic, we got closer to nature and this is directly reflected in the interior design”, he says. Organic shapes appear in the furniture and countertops, where J'Adore quartzite stands out. Among the colors, green is in the covering maxiformat, with the touch and look of a painting. And the orange warms and welcomes, as does the indirect lighting and basketwork with natural weaves and textures. As a counterpoint, a sculpture made with discarded car belts and cotton threads gives movement. The mix of colors also appears on the ceiling, where orange, green and blue delimit the preparation, service and lounge areas. (Felipe Araújo)

02/29 - efcarquitetura - Sigramar Mineral House. Marble is the star of Eduardo Franco Correia's space. The architect highlights the beauty of the stone in large dimensions in this multipurpose space, used for small events and lectures by CASACOR. A large movable wall moves, opening space for the garden, with a designed grandstand. “We brought the idea of the scale of the material in a polished size, with its 2.80 m x 1.80 m sheets. In this way, we worked sustainably, without cuts, so that these sheets could return to the distributor after the show”. The lighting highlights the essential elements, and the objects and works of art underwent specific curation, always using marble as a reference. (Carolina Mossim)

03/29 - Gabriela Lemos Arquitetura - Fachada Future Design. With the mission of disconnecting the visitor from life outside and inserting them into the atmosphere of the exhibition, the architect focuses on the diversity of shapes, colors, materials and textures. The preference is to use straight lines. The exception is the existing curved wall, covered with ballasts that replicate Italian stone. In addition to this, the metallic tiles that reinforce the color of the facade also draw attention – the perfect mix between neutral and strong tones marks the launch of Coral's 2023 line. The landscaping, another highlight of the project, enhances the architecture and creates surprising spaces, which convey comfort and connect with nature. (Felipe Araújo)

04/29 - Izabel Maynart and Valter Felix - Coolhunter Studio. Do you know who a coolhunter is? They are the professionals responsible for identifying changes in behavior that indicate new trends and paths of innovation. And what could the ideal workplace be like for this specialist? Architects and urban planners Valter Felix and Izabel Maynart opted for simplicity to create a cool environment – as expected –, making room for colors and materials found in nature. Corten steel, concrete and marble are present. Warm tones are preferred, which are also present in the directional lamps. The space is closed off by natural wood sliding doors with a design that creates a brise-soleil effect, breaking up the intensity of the external light. Lucas Bueno and Rafael Pippa (PB Arts Design), Studio Alessi and Lina Bo Bardi are responsible for the design pieces. (Felipe Araújo)

05/29 - Kimye Quinarq - Brazilianness. The sound of birds, the aroma of the earth. Vanessa Kimye debuts at CASACOR using these and many other elements to awaken the senses in her functional bathroom full of Brazilianness. For a complete connection between the visitor and nature, every detail matters. “In the interior spaces, I bring fauna, emphasizing the blue and red macaws. The tones of the cube refer to our land, the landscaping with the pergola takes us to the forests, and the cobogós refer to rocks.” Made from shell remains, the cobogós originate from Alagoas – a project created by artisan Itamácio dos Santos and designers Marcelo Rosenbaum and Rodrigo Ambrósio. The landscaping gives the space the necessary breathing space, and the mirror made of stones reinforces the preference for natural elements. The paintings on the walls are by Livia Doreto. (Felipe Araújo)

06/29 - Las Paredes - Moa Space. Art and digital interaction complement each other in Larissa Paredes' open-air gallery. In Tupi-Guarani, in the Mawé dialect, Moa means path. Hence the name of this relaxed "path of experiences" inspired by nature. “The elements refer to leaves, stones, sand, water, flowers, a group that forms a unique design”. Larissa also bet on curved lines, which provide rhythm and fluidity. And the colors make reference to clay, wood, foliage and the sun itself – such as terracotta, green, caramel and mustard. In executing the project, Larissa worked in partnership with designer Juliana Ottaviani; another designer, Mariana Navarro, created the identity. To interact with the space, the visitor accesses the @moaespaco profile via QR Code, and creates their own images through an exclusive filter. “Thus, from one art only several 'micro' arts emerge, depending on each person's perspective.” (Felipe Araújo)

07/29 - Maísa Rockenbach Busch and Roberta de Oliveira - Voepass Lounge. The large 90 m² space with outdoor gardens invites you to experience the atmosphere of Voepass, from Ribeirão Preto, the oldest Brazilian airline in operation. “Our inspiration was someone passionate about the art of transporting people between cities, countries, through the air. The windows of our lounge transport us inside the aircraft”. Within this context, architect Roberta Mariano and interior designer Maísa Busch sought elements to bring warmth and relaxation, concepts tailored to a place made for gathering friends, sharing stories, and listening to good music. The balanced composition features stones and lots of wood – the furniture is from Novittà, and the flooring and coverings are from Minha Casa Decor. (Felipe Araújo)

08/29 - Manarelli Guimarães - Casa Argilla. The duo of architects transformed the 15th anniversary of their office, with offices in São Paulo, Salvador and Ribeirão Preto, into the starting point for this two-in-one project. Side by side, a residential living room and a corporate environment in essence, with spaces to receive employees and hold meetings. “We are rescuing elements that remind us of the capital of Bahia and Ribeirão Preto, mixing cultures and bringing art and design concepts from both places into the same space”. In the composition, Thiago Manarelli and Ana Paula Guimarães present a great diversity of styles, textures and colors, a striking characteristic of their projects, and exclusive solutions such as the lighting – the ceiling has no light points. (Carolina Mossim)

09/29 - Marcela Tiraboschi - Anexo M. In her debut at the show, Marcela Tiraboschi made a point of giving her office a home-like atmosphere. With a wide range of colors, materials and finishes, her coworking space offers versatile solutions, suitable for any type of project. “I sought a more sophisticated and elegant style for a work environment that stimulates well-being and creativity. I thought it was important to give a feeling of 'home' to the place where we spend most of the day”. The rustic stones mark the decor with sophistication and the wood brings comfort, as does the indirect lighting – the functional light points highlight the work islands and meeting tables. (Felipe Araújo)

10/29 - Marcelo Tamassia - Blu Home Store. The inspiration for the space is the minimalism of Japanese stores. The architect Marcelo Tamassia, who designed the Praça da Família at CASACOR 2018 (in partnership with Sarita Ávila), returns to the show this year to design the Blu Home Decor store, based in Ribeirão Preto. The atmosphere is clean, to ensure that the design and decoration pieces for sale take center stage. Designed for multiple uses, the furniture features components that adapt to display products of different styles and sizes. In keeping with the minimalist concept, the option for white cubes and shelves and vertical layers creates a flexible and visually cleaner space. (Felipe Araújo)

11/29 - Mariane Siqueira Arquitetura - Aurora Suite. The integration of spaces with the environment is one of the main characteristics of Mariane Siqueira's work. A newcomer to CASACOR, she brought to Ribeirão Preto elements and textures that represent the nature of Santa Fé do Sul, the city where her office is based. In this sense, each choice made by the architect to create her Aurora Suite has a specific reason. “The green represents our forests and the clear waters of the Paraná River; the earthy tone of the ceiling is inspired by the fertile soil and red clay, present everywhere; and the gold of the ironwork represents our exuberant sun and our sunset”. Complementing the project is a private garden, perfect for awakening the senses. (Felipe Araújo)

12/29 - Amanda Andrade and Jaqueline Tessaro - Living Gaia. Contemporary style and the use of natural elements are common characteristics of this professional duo. And they are clearly evident in this living room with multifunctional spaces that can be used for entertaining, working, relaxing, and contemplating. The inspiration is the rebirth of the new post-pandemic living style, with nature inside the home represented by plants, shapes, and materials. The name comes from the goddess Gaia, the Mother of the Earth, who according to Greek mythology emerged from chaos. “This chaos represents the moment we are going through today. Amidst isolation, we were led to reinvent ourselves and our living spaces,” they explain. The space celebrates nature and Brazilianness through a preference for natural materials, organic shapes, landscaping, and furniture designed by Brazilian designers, such as Sergio Rodrigues and Fernando Mendes. (Felipe Araújo)

13/29 - Mateus Passaglia and Nabila Feijó - Studio da Musicista. The sinuous shapes, comfortable materials and colors sharpen the senses – just like the songs. For the architects, the fluidity of the space can give the frenetic daily life more sensitivity and sensuality. Always attentive to the history of their clients, the duo combines elements perfectly when creating this refuge designed to welcome a woman who is an entrepreneur, investor, collector and, of course, a musician. Ultra-eclectic and contemporary, the studio features romantic tones, pop-art and intimate lighting. “The mix of styles, the choice of materials and the functionality of the space are personalized according to the experience that each person seeks as an expectation for living better”, they say. (Felipe Araújo)

14/29 - Mônica Costa Landscaping - Rosemary Garden. The scent of rosemary is the star of the CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2022 central square. In this garden of sensations by Mônica Costa, it is the aroma that impacts visitors upon first contact. They immediately notice the lightness that the space provides, as well as the balance in the composition of textures. Mônica presents a project with floor plans, to maintain the perspective of the architecture of nearby buildings. For her, the challenge is always to create a harmonious connection between nature and new materials. “Combined with architecture as the starting point of a project, landscaping naturally integrates this relationship from its inception, generating a movement of collaboration between the two worlds”. The lighting, another great surprise in the space, is by Filippo Giorgi (Lucenera). (Carolina Mossin)

15/29 - Patricia Makhoul and Angela Dorascenzi - Perplan Restaurant. Attractive and eccentric, the restaurant provides a unique experience. There are sensory stimuli everywhere – from the aromas and flavors of the food to the touch of the coverings, from the decoration details to the music scene. As you stroll through the space, your eyes encounter an exuberant mix of colors. “We chose shades of purple to reflect and symbolize our boldness and energy, and the pink palette refers to companionship and sensitivity.” In addition to the colors, this contemporary and intimate project also highlights the soft textures from Arter, the quartzite from Sigramar, with sinuous and delicate lines, and the hexagonal ceramic tiles from Atlas. The 3D Tiles pieces, from Colormix, add a special touch to the lush scenery. In the bathroom, the stars are the cylindrical taps designed by Ricardo Bello Dias and the counter basins, all by Deca. (Felipe Araújo)

16/29 - Pedro Franco - Reflections. The artist uses the pure and simple form of the cube to create an impressive installation. It is made up of four pieces with a mirrored finish, which makes them almost non-existent in the space – and reflects on the importance of architecture’s dialogue with its surroundings. Located on different axes, the cubes are demarcated by the large plateau that organizes them. Inside each one, there are iconic pieces from the career of the artist, one of the stars of contemporary Brazilian design, such as the Underconstruction armchair and the Esqueleto chair – both produced by A Lot Of Brasil, founded by Pedro in 2012. The neon phrases that make us reflect on the importance of the theme of design also stand out. “The project reflects my personality by prioritizing philosophical thought, which overrides the aesthetics of the space”. (Carolina Mossin)

17/29 - Quintino Facci Arquitetos - Loft Permane(ser). Simplicity and minimalism to celebrate the "private infinity", the connection with the soul. This intimate refuge represents the uniqueness of the individual, with everything he has – and needs – to live. Soft curves convey the concept of "infinity", and the integration of spaces provides fluidity with the division of environments: one for the living room, another for the bathroom and kitchen. Natural light enters through the wide opening at the back, and the internal lighting, with few focal points, brings comfort and warmth, as does the choice of neutral and light fabrics. A wall with works of art reveals, in its small frames, the "Private Infinity", the theme of CASACOR 2022. In the furniture, the idea of transmitting affection through design pieces such as the Diz and Jimi armchairs and the Mocho and Magrini benches (all by Sérgio Rodrigues) and the Oscar chairs (Beto&Tuti). (Carolina Mossim)

18/29 - Raphael Ticiano - Designer's Loft. Based on the theme of Private Infinity, Raphael Ticiano created a loft inspired by his lifestyle – as if it were his own home. Making his debut at the show, the interior designer prioritizes the use of natural elements, with a strong emphasis on the use of wood. Also striking are the concrete, stones and shades of gray and black that reinforce the contemporary feel. The spaces are integrated, functional, and suitable for welcoming family and friends in great comfort – a feeling that comes, for example, from the textures in the fabrics of the curtains and furniture and the balance of colors. “I always start from a neutral base in my projects, so I can use and abuse colors in the decoration”. The space also shows other important traits of Raphael's work, such as the use of technology – the loft is completely automated – and the appreciation of natural light and ventilation. (Felipe Araújo)

19/29 - Spagnhol Paisagismo - Tropical Garden. Species with different types of foliage, heights and textures make up Murilo Spagnhol's garden, which will debut at CASACOR in 2022. “This diversity, combined with the landscaping, sought to represent a real forest. The idea is for people to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city to contemplate the entire space”. When inserting the natural environment into the urban context, the landscaper was inspired by the plurality of Brazilian tropical forests, such as the Amazon. A small lake and even the blue tones of the furniture reinforce the connection with the environment and convey peace and serenity. The use of multiple species in landscaping is a hallmark of the projects by Spagnhol Plantas Ornamentais, which provides all the vegetation in the garden. (Felipe Araújo)

20/29 - Taiza Moiteiro Arquitetura - Dining Room - Around the table. As the perfect dining room should be, the project is designed to welcome, chat, share unique moments and enjoy good food. The balanced environment features Brazilian designer furniture and the use of neutral tones allows continuity with the outdoor garden, framed by a stone frame. This integration, which brings spaciousness and natural light, is one of the characteristics of the architect's work – they also appear in the choice of colors, the use of wood and the care taken with the lighting project. The movement is in the curves of the ceiling and in the main star of the space: the Rain Table, designed by Leo Romano, with a fluid design and legs that refer to drops. (Felipe Araújo)

21/29 - Thais Arruda Campos - Container de Essências Mel Brushes. Enchantment is the word that best describes the environment created by Thais Arruda Campos. The architect, whose work is marked by balance and lightness, presents a combination of music, aromas and textures that stirs the senses of visitors and, at the same time, transmits comfort. “The Container de Essências was conceived as a place to recharge our batteries when we return to our safe haven. With this concept, we put the senses to work, actively, through music, aroma, touch and sight”. To achieve this, Thais also counts on the talent of artist Renata Carrascosa, who appears in the choice of the color palette and the composition of natural textures that give even more personality to the project. (Felipe Araújo)

22/29 - Uzzo Arquitetura - Musician's Backyard. Created to host presentations during the exhibition, the space by Márcia Mendes and Pedro Ivo Ribeiro proposes music as a link between the urban and the natural, which coexist in harmony. In fact, it's more than that: one highlights the other. For example, the preference for gray and green in the circulation area, tones that unite the two universes in the same layout. The perforated plate of the bench, which refers to the urban, has sinuous shapes that lead to the natural. A concrete block wall has the green of plants, and the stage floor is black, as a counterpoint to the garden where it is located. Upon leaving, the contrast between the “Abbey Road” panel (the cover of the Beatles' most famous album) and the existing hoses is surprising. The landscaping is by Spagnhol Plantas Ornamentais. (Carolina Mossin)

23/29 - Ana Lívia Mafra - Pitoco's Room. Creating cozy spaces is nothing new for Ana Lívia Mafra. A hallmark of her work, this concept has already appeared in her Cuisine Berbere, one of the stars of CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2021 (in partnership with architect Rafael Granero), and is applied again here – with the same excellence. “The idea was to create a unisex room that would refer to lightness and nature, an imaginary and creative space for a child, also encouraging reading”. With this focus, the architect and interior designer created an environment with an intimate atmosphere, which values delicacy. The composition includes design objects and lots of wood. (Felipe Araújo)

24/29 - architectureSUPRAdesign - Espaço Deca - Literal and Sensory. The common thread in Dariane Bertoni and Matheus Benetti's bathroom is transparency. The architects suggest rediscovering this intimate place, proposing a permeable space where the exterior flirts with the interior. “The inspiration was the desire to connect with natural elements: wind, rain, sun, vegetation. A space in which these elements permeate the architectural layer”, they explain. The concern for sustainability is also evident in the project. The structure is 100% bolted, and can be disassembled and assembled in another location. The external walls are made of translucent metal brise-soleils, and the internal walls have gardens defining the circulation. In this context, other essential choices are the delicate lining, with perforated white sheet metal, and the 100% handmade crochet curtain. (Carolina Mossim)

25/29 - Attointeriores - Balsamo Bathroom. Interior designer Lauro Machado brings lightness, comfort and lots of personality to this space, tailored for invigorating and cozy moments. “Intimate moments are necessary to restore energy. A daily balm,” he says. The composition presents a unique balance between the solidity of the stones and the lightness of natural light, explored through the opening near the counter. Its integration with artificial lighting is achieved through points of warm light that can both favor moments of relaxation and prepare for the beginning or end of the day. The Menna chair, by Sergio Rodrigues, was chosen due to its concept, in harmony with Lauro Machado’s work. “The piece was conceived and designed to break the linear limits of the 1970s, in addition to having a peculiar shape at its base, in the shape of a kangaroo.” (Felipe Araújo)

26/29 - BD Arquitetura - Living with a sense of comfort. Are you familiar with the comfy movement? It is a trend that prioritizes elements that bring comfort, harmony, and well-being. “It reflects the moment we are living in, of breaking rigidity. Post-pandemic, curves are here to stay, as they describe a sense of comfort and welcome portrayed in the architecture, furniture, and materials used,” say Andrea Belezini and Isadora Dalmazo. Inspired by this concept, the architects present a space full of lightness, represented by organic lines that integrate with nature. They are present in the furniture, which composes the environment in the company of light fabrics, neutral colors, and textures and weaves that complement each other. The flooring and sculptures are from the line designed by Ruy Ohtake. (Felipe Araújo)

27/29 - Bruno Ortega Arquitetura - Bonança Kitchen. It is impossible not to be struck when entering Bruno Ortega's kitchen. And it is not because of the large amount of information, but because of the lack thereof. Full of personality, the space overflows with tranquility and surprises with its design, furniture, but mainly with the monochromatic tones upon tones, with textures that merge into each other in incredible harmony. "The space reflects my lifestyle, which is hectic and turbulent for most of the day, but calm and serene when I am at home", he says. The second surprise comes from inside the carpentry: it is there that the colors appear, striking the visitor again and creating the perfect counterpoint to the project. "They are like our feelings, always kept secret." (Felipe Araújo)

28/29 - Caru Cunha Arquitetura - Silvia Camargo Arquitetura e Urbanismo - Paladar Infinito. The premise is the preference for natural materials. Based on this, architects Silvia Camargo and Caru Cunha, new to CASACOR, brought together elements to create a minimalist emporium, tailored to bring products to life and, at the same time, whet the palate. The atmosphere is one of tranquility and well-being. It is created by the use of neutral tones and natural textures, such as the stones on the counter and in the garden, in addition to the lighting using shadows and light. “We seek a dialogue between the building and the visitor through this humanized environment, which brings them closer to the products that are demonstrated and tasted.” (Felipe Araújo)

29/29 - Deisi Veiga - Espaço Pausa. Project by CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2022. Interior designer Deisi Veiga makes her debut at CASACOR, taking seriously the contemporary trend of increasingly functional spaces. To transform the 12 m² available in this intimate corner, one of the most charming in the show, she bets on striking elements. The layout is clean, one of the striking characteristics of her projects. Combined with it, the two modern and deep shades of green (Coral) create a desired atmosphere of peace and well-being. A wall gallery complements the space without disturbing its balance, and the organic design armchair is an irresistible invitation for moments of reading, contemplation or relaxation. (Felipe Araújo)
