Denise Barretto used elements of 1960s São Paulo architecture to build an 80 m² living room, where the well-designed layout emphasizes interaction with family and friends. As a reference to the 20th century, the architect opted for thicker fabrics, such as velvet, in addition to organic shapes in the well-distributed furniture. The project is part of the Artefacto 2020 exhibition.

According to Denise, works of art play a fundamental role in the finalization of the space. “The selection of works of art shapes the personality of the space. Here, the project and the copper leaf screen were created together, the lamp by Ingo Maurer interacts with the work of Roberto Cimino.” .[newsletter]
