Shelves have taken on new meanings within contemporary decor. More than just pieces of furniture intended to store books and objects, they have come to play a prominent role in the composition of spaces – bringing together memory, art, and everyday elements within a single structure!

In the projects of CASACOR São Paulo 2026, this element appears in different interpretations, showing how a shelf can transform the relationship between architecture and objects. Whether as a main piece or as a decorative complement, it helps create projects that are more personal and connected to the history of those who live there.
One of the main characteristics of the shelves at CASACOR São Paulo 2026 is their ability to combine functionality and expression. By accommodating books, photographs, artworks, and meaningful objects, they cease to be merely storage solutions and start to reveal tastes, references, and memories.

This freer composition allows shelves to function as a kind of visual narrative. Each object placed on them participates in the atmosphere of the space, creating layers of meaning and making the projects more welcoming and less impersonal.
Shelves can take on various proportions within projects. Models that occupy entire walls help make better use of the height of the projects and create a sense of continuity, while smaller versions can serve as focal points in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices.

Another possibility is to use the shelf as a transition element between integrated spaces. Open structures, for example, can divide projects without completely interrupting circulation or the entry of light, creating a lighter and more fluid separation.
The choice of materials also influences the presence of the shelf in the space. Wood remains one of the most widely used options for bringing a sense of warmth, while combinations with metal, glass, and other finishes create more contemporary interpretations.
Rafaella Manso Arquitetura - Nota em Linhas. No primeiro casarão do trajeto, a arquiteta Rafaella Manso compôs a escadaria e o lounge junto dela como uma ode à música, representada principalmente pelo piano de 1951, pertencente à avó da profissional e alojado sobre uma plataforma revestida de mármore. Inspiradas na caligrafia da partitura, linhas unificam o espaço por meio do móbile suspenso no vão da escada. Os vitrais, com motivos que obedecem à proporção áurea, filtram a luz natural e reforçam a relação entre ritmo, forma e experiência. O projeto de 74 m² preserva elementos originais, como o piso de granilite e as molduras de gesso. (Roberta Gewehr/CASACOR)
