After many seasons dominated by minimalistic aesthetics,
maximalism is back in the spotlight of interior design – now, with a new perspective and even more strength! At
CASACOR Pernambuco 2025, the trend manifests in projects that celebrate
creative freedom, a
mix of references, and the
dialogue between art, culture, and affection. In the exhibition, maximalism presents itself as a
statement of identity, where unexpected combinations prevail in spaces that tell stories.

The Pernambucan exhibition translates this movement through a
rich aesthetic in patterns, bold finishes, and intense palettes, which broaden the sensory perception of visitors.
Ceramic panels gain prominence as artistic and sculptural pieces, while the so-called “
urban forests” incorporate nature into daily life. The result is a tropical and vibrant synthesis of the new maximalism — an aesthetic that invites full expression. Check it out!
Wood in motion
FV Arquitetos - Felipe Valadares e Neto - Sob o manto de Pernambuco — Loja ADEPE. O espaço convida a uma travessia do litoral ao sertão. Entre curvas e passagens, emergem cores, texturas e memórias que se entrelaçam como camadas de um território vivo. A madeira molda relevos que evocam o solo e o abrigo; a pedra natural, em tons de areia e terra, ancora a experiência na essência do estado. Mais do que exibir, o ambiente, assinado por Felipe Valadares e Liesid Neto, acolhe. É um lugar de pertencimento, onde o artesanato pulsa como expressão sensível e a arquitetura se revela manto que envolve e ilumina a identidade de Pernambuco. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
It is impossible to look away from the
large wooden panel that runs through the project of Loja ADEPE, titled
Under the Pernambucan Mantle. Among curves and passages, the textures intertwine like layers of a living territory, revealing a
sensory maximalism that exalts craftsmanship and the richness of forms. Here, the wood shapes reliefs to display, welcome, and pulse the best of
Pernambuco's identity craftsmanship, in an ode to matter, memory, and meaning.
Art in three dimensions
André Carício - Apartamento Electrolux. Projeto da CASACOR Pernambuco 2025. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
The
Electrolux Apartment proves that maximalism goes far beyond colors — it also manifests in
the richness of textures and the
overlapping of elements. The project, with double ceiling height and preserved original details, has as its focal point the three-dimensional work of visual artist
Beth Cyrne, titled Semear o Sonho, Agradecer o Existir. The
sculptural panel fills the space with movement and depth, creating an atmosphere where art, memory, and contemporaneity intertwine in perfect harmony.
Maximalism from walls to details
Cecília Lemos - Cozinha Viva Deca. Projeto da CASACOR Pernambuco 2025. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
A mix of colors, patterns, textures, and art: the
Cozinha Viva Deca is the strongest
translation of maximalism in the exhibition. The project recovers in architecture the
richness of details faded over time, in an exuberant composition. The proposal unites the erudite and the popular, the sophisticated and the intuitive, in a creative coexistence that reflects the
Brazilian plurality. On the walls, the highlight is the artistic intervention of
Bruna Emery, who transforms the architecture into a living canvas.
Tropicalism that embraces
Andrea Calabria - Living Brávia. Projeto da CASACOR Pernambuco 2025. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
An
orange wall and a
tropical screen completely redefine the atmosphere of the
Living Brávia, where maximalism expresses itself through color and emotion. The project, which integrates living room and kitchen, proves that the boldness of
mixes of colors and patterns can exist with harmony. Here, the sensory design of the walls and objects translates a way of living that invites coexistence, inspiration, and belonging, in a home that
celebrates the "more is more" with delicacy.
Indoor forest
Atmosphera Plantas & Paisagismo - Refúgio da Alma. Um refúgio sensorial se revela em meio à arquitetura: um espaço de paisagismo interno que acolhe e convida ao silêncio. Entre árvores e folhagens abundantes, o visitante é levado a desacelerar, respirar fundo e reencontrar a essência perdida no ritmo acelerado da vida. O verde se entrelaça às linhas do projeto, criando um ambiente vivo e pulsante, onde natureza e construção se completam. Ali, cada detalhe inspira descanso, troca e contemplação. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
The concept of
urban forest reaches its maximum expression in the
Refuge of the Soul, where natural maximalism takes shape among trees, foliage, and organic textures. The internal landscaping creates a
living and pulsating project where the green intertwines with architectural lines and proposes a
complete immersion in nature. Nature and construction complement each other, revealing that maximalism can also be a way of peace, contemplation, and reconnection.
Ceramics and legacy
Diogo Viana - Loja Oficina de Cerâmica Francisco Brennand. A loja da Oficina Francisco Brennand é uma imersão na essência da obra do artista e ceramista Francisco Brennand. O projeto se destaca pela seleção de uma paleta de cores que reflete o seu legado artístico. A iluminação técnica foi pensada para valorizar os produtos expostos, celebrando a cerâmica. As estantes são um exemplo da integração entre design e funcionalidade. Destaque para o imponente painel de cerâmica assinado por Brennand em 1968 e o mobiliário, assinado por Ramsés Marçal, que complementam o ambiente. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
In the
Francisco Brennand Ceramic Workshop Store, maximalism reveals itself through
matter and memory. Everything in the store
refers to the legacy of artist and ceramist
Francisco Brennand, whose work inspires the projects from the color palette to the textures. The chosen palette reflects the
symbolic universe of the Pernambucan master, while his imposing
ceramic panel from 1968 adds movement and expressiveness to the walls, transforming the space into a tactile and visual tribute to Recife's art.
Visual games and geometry
Duopl Arquitetura - Carolina Puttini, Catarina Lins e Mariana Perazzo - Cultivar o olhar. Projeto da CASACOR Pernambuco 2025. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
The concept store Gustavo Eyewear translates contemporary maximalism through form and geometry. The project starts from the premise that
glasses are artifacts of identity to imprint, in its architecture, a sensory experience.
Diagonal cuts, tensioned volumes, and angled mirrors provoke the gaze and multiply perspectives. The result is an engaging project that invites the visitor to see — and be seen — under new layers, in a true exercise of visual excesses and meanings.
