Natural textures evoke
well-being , bring back
fond memories and help us relax. Connected with the theme of
CASACOR 2024 , which is "
As a gift, the present ",
natural materials appear in many of the projects created by architects, interior designers and landscapers in the exhibitions throughout Brazil. And there is no shortage of
creativity with which they use stones, wood, fabrics, leather and other elements produced from raw materials found in nature. See more in our selection below!
1. Eastern atmosphere
Márcio Corrêa - Meu Ryokan. Como o próprio nome indica, o projeto tem como referência um ryokan – tradicional hospedagem japonesa – com uma reinterpretação moderna. O espaço de 77 m² faz um convite à experimentação de sensações de maneira contemplativa e à forte ligação com a natureza. Para isso, utiliza cores e elementos gráficos suaves e materiais naturais. Destaque para a instalação com bambus logo na entrada composta por uma iluminação dramática, para os móveis em formato de pedras e para o piso e o teto revestidos com madeira certificada.

wood and
stone , adding soft textures that provide a pleasant tactile sensation.
8. Tribute to manual making
Joana Hardy - Loja da Vila Cerâmica. A proposta é traduzir a essência do universo da cerâmica em um ambiente que utiliza texturas, materiais naturais e a cor para celebrar o fazer. Um espaço acolhedor, que mistura mobiliário vintage a outros contemporâneos com fluidez e se traduz como único. Mostra, assim, o cuidado e o rigor com o detalhe, itens característicos do trabalho de Joana Hardy. Um exemplo são as luminárias em tecido desenhadas pela arquiteta. (Jomar Bragança/CASACOR)

Designed by
Bruno Ortega , this space at
CASACOR Ribeirão Preto evokes the warmth of a rain shower. For the professional, the integration of natural elements in architecture is essential to offer refuge in the midst of contemporary life. This integration also appears in the use of
stone on the walls, which brings a rustic feel. As counterpoints,
marble and dark
wood provide elegance.
