Art everywhere
Studio Fernanda Basso - Sala de Exposição Seiza. O espaço traz um essencialismo estético ligado à filosofia oriental, com texturas em cimento. Seiza (正座) é um estilo formal japonês de se sentar sobre os calcanhares e também um costume que influenciou a arquitetura nipônica, com os tradicionais pisos de tatame e mobiliários baixos. (Cristiano Bauce/CASACOR)

Bruno Schilling , presenting his work that explores geometric abstractionism and kinetic art. The works are curated by

CASACOR logo, giving the objects a new meaning as a way of thanking the entire team for their commitment and work.
Andrea Magalhães - Essencial Assim… A proposta deste living composto por sala de jantar e hall é explorar de forma equilibrada a suavidade das texturas e dos tons. O mobiliário solto atemporal valoriza a madeira que se combina a revestimentos claros: mármore, pintura em laca e cimento branco moldado. Os elementos dourados em pontos focais fazem alusão à luz do sol e à esperança. (Cristiano Bauce/CASACOR)
