The revival of the animal trend is explored at CASA COR PR 2016

If there is one trend that is timeless and is present in almost every edition of CASA COR in Brazil, it is the use of animals in decoration. Whether through prints, objects or sculptures, animals are present in the most diverse forms and in different environments. This edition of CASA COR Paraná 2016 was no different... The Open Bar Miami space, designed by architect Marcelo Lopes, is one of the references for environments in which the animal piece took center stage in the décor. Inspired by the luxury of international decoration, the bar in the show was designed in dark tones and woody nuances, thus seeking to give the project the appearance of an international pub. The originality of the space, however, lies in the artistic works, such as the rhinoceros sculpture attached to the wall. The piece was produced by artist Rafael Sartori exclusively for the space. To create Lugar da Criança , architect Viviane Busch established the idea of a multifunctional space that prioritized awareness of the need to care for nature, in addition to a love for animals. As if they were spending a day in the jungle, little ones are enchanted by the life-size stuffed animals and the vegetation in the space. Another highlight are the animal-print pillows from Murall Estamparia, which are found on the enormous futon incorporated into a wooden platform with LED lighting - designed by the professional. Inspired by great hotels around the world and the culture of each location, the Hotel Lobby was designed by decorator Walkiria Nossol and architect Jéssica Brandão. The striking items, with references to Eastern, European and Brazilian culture, create a cozy and personal space. One of the standout pieces is the jaguar sculpted to be the coffee table in the waiting lounge. Designed by Rafael Sartori, exclusively for the space, the jaguar-shaped table had its mold developed in clay to result in a piece made of resin with graphite powder and a glass top.

The Home Office , developed by interior designer Larissa Gomes, is made of noble materials to have a light and dynamic reading. The natural wood slats, the huge marble blocks on the floor and the furniture designed by designer Sérgio Rodrigues are the value of this space. To ensure a relaxed atmosphere and reinforce her own style, the professional incorporated animal pieces into the space. The side table – in the shape of a rhinoceros – and the objects in the shape of a giraffe, all from Villa Batel Decor, are made of resin and surprise with their bold design. The trays with stylized cats are from the designer's personal collection, which she acquired during an international trip. The Living Principal space was created by architect Ivan Wodzinsky to combine luxurious style with the vintage style of the 60s and 70s. Two life-size felines are prominently displayed in the heart of the space: 'Luar do Sertão' and 'Tigre Escruando a Cobra', bronze pieces that are part of the collection of the sculptor João Turin (1978-1949), from Paraná, one of the most important representatives of Brazilian animal art. Both pieces were awarded in different editions of the Salão Nacional de Belas Artes, and have become icons of the work of the artist from Paraná, who was educated in Brussels and lived in Paris for a decade.
