From the floor to the walls: tapestries cover CASACOR's rooms

The art of coloring threads to decorate spaces dates back to ancient Greece, and continues to be used on the walls of medieval castles to this day. For centuries, tapestries have been a way of demonstrating elegance, luxury and beauty in both homes and large public works. The presidential palace in Abidjan, the Sydney Opera House, the airports in Munich and New York, and in Brazil, MASP and the Palácio do Planalto all feature famous tapestries.

For this reason, this historical technique of adornment could not be left out of CASACOR ’s spaces. In 2017, the team of professionals showed how up-to-date tapestries are and how they can be used to add charm and personality to spaces. Architect Ângela Roldão – who designed the beautiful Ginger Bar at CASACOR Minas Gerais 2017 – explained that tapestries are a complex resource that needs to be well-crafted, but that can yield sensational results. “Tapestries, due to the material they are made of, accumulate dust. If they are placed in spaces where people have allergies, it probably won’t be good. However, if they are good, they add a lot of value to the space, like a good work of art. And they add refinement!”

Check out the CASACOR environments that are covered in tapestry.

Ginger Bar – CASACOR Minas Gerais 2017 Ângela Roldão's Ginger Bar convinces passersby to come in and enjoy a drink. Inspired by European museums and gardens, the roof is covered with umbrellas and the furniture is made of aluminum and glass. The wood and leather used give it a contemporary and nostalgic feel at the same time, and the tapestry, from Chafariz antigos, completes the atmosphere. Central Room – CASACOR Minas Gerais 2017

Guest Area – CASACOR São Paulo 2017 Denise Barreto found a beautiful and functional solution for her Guest Space in the exclusive tapestry from the Design (Kian) collection. It was essential that the space, which is intended for socializing and leisure, had acoustic comfort, but because of the glass wall, it was also necessary for the interior wall to have aesthetic appeal. With the tapestry, Denise achieved both, since the carpet absorbs sound and fills the Guest Space with elegance. Tartuferia – CASACOR Sao Paulo 2017 Gustavo Jensen, in partnership with Juliana Nogueira, created a retro and country-style environment, inspired by the Italian style. To achieve this, Gustavo used beautiful and exclusive pieces produced for Tartuferia from the Fio da Meada Collection, by Kamy.
