[galeria-abril id="80805" type="slider" showtitle="false" data-restrict="false"] CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2019 brings back the glamour of old Rio and focuses on the home as a place to entertain. This year's show will take place at Praça Mauá, between the MAR and Amanhã museums, from August 20 to September 29, bringing together 63 professionals. Architects, interior designers and landscapers will be responsible for the 44 spaces, with the theme Planeta Casa . The exhibition will be held in the Touring building, an eclectic-style building with art deco elements. It was originally designed by French architect Joseph Gire and built in 1920. Together with an adjacent warehouse, CASACOR Rio de Janeiro occupies more than 6,000 square meters. The main building is home to a large number of rooms, with three floors dedicated almost exclusively to the art of hospitality. The warehouse invites you to imagine what it would be like to live in the port area, with lofts and studios measuring 70m² to 90m², as well as commercial and leisure areas.

Visibility of historical heritage

It is interesting to think about how the space has always had a certain vocation for hospitality, since it was the gateway to the city for those arriving by ship. In the future, the place will be transformed into the Mercado do Porto, a gastronomic attraction inspired by international models. “This CASACOR Rio de Janeiro has two striking characteristics: it gives visibility to a historical heritage of the city that many people don't even know about and presents a very interesting proposal of what it would be like to live in that area of Rio, which has so much potential and was recently recovered”, says Patricia Quentel, managing partner of CASACOR Rio de Janeiro .

A look at the details

Each year, Brazilian design and the curation of artworks elevate the experience at CASACOR Rio de Janeiro even further. In some spaces, strong colors activate the walls, with a highlight being the generous brushstrokes of green. There is also a respite in the combinations that calm the eye, with white, gray, natural tones and a bit of blue, without rivaling the sea just a few meters away. Be sure to notice the ceilings with artistic paintings, which advance the trend of investing in this surface - until now dominated by white. The handmade is present in woven elements, ceramics, lamps, small objects and other significant details. Wood always has a guaranteed place: it is used raw, in slats or given more elaborate finishes and shapes. A material that does not need to reaffirm its versatility, but does so with simplicity once again. CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2019 Where? 10 - Maua Square - Rio de Janeiro - RJ As?
