A versatile and timeless material,
stones continue to be
a trend in the world of decoration, and the environments of the most recent editions of
CASACOR are proof of this. The
possibilities for use are endless — from floors, walls, countertops and even furniture — as is the range of
colors and
variations of veins . In addition, stones, in natural versions or as industrialized sheets, bring the feeling of having a little bit of
nature inside the home. Check out ideas on how to use stones in decoration in the selection of projects from
CASACOR 2024 below!

Distributed between a spa, gym and bathrooms, the 95 m²
wellness space interprets the highest experience of well-being and self-care: one that values a healthy mind in balance with the body and spirit. A highlight of the project, the Silver Wave
marble , by VM Stone, weaves a narrative of
elegance and

3. Adriana Farias - Hutukara | CASACOR Sao Paulo
Adriana Farias - Hutukara. Na cultura ianomâmi, hutukara quer dizer mãe natureza e mãe terra, aquela que alimenta, acolhe e cura. A tradução desse conceito em um ambiente funcional resulta em um banheiro de 37 m² cujo intuito é criar a sensação de estar dentro da floresta. O teto curvo em tons de marrom, verde e azul simboliza a copa das árvores, as paredes no padrão da madeira jatobá remetem aos troncos, e o quartzito da pia reproduz as cores da vitória-régia, espécie que nasce e floresce nas águas do Rio Negro, no Amazonas. Ladrilhos hidráulicos com grafismos indígenas formam um grande painel que expressa pensamentos, experiências e vivências. (Israel Gollino/CASACOR)
In the bathroom designed by interior designer Adriana Farias, stone plays a central role in connecting visitors with nature. The material chosen for the sink is
Vitória Régia quartzite , mined in the North of Brazil and presented with a deep brushed finish. This rock has several tones that evoke the region's native flower, which blooms in the waters of the Rio Negro. The sink skirt has an organic shape, inspired by the natural lines of the plant, reinforcing the theme of integration with nature.
4. DB Architects - Living by David Bastos | CASACOR São Paulo
Shades of gray contrast with bold colors make up the 173 m² living room by architect David Bastos. Natural stones are the main feature here and can be seen on some of the coffee and side tables, on the island bar (which is a block of carved
solid stone with a rough finish) and on the round table in the lounge. Most of the furniture has curved, circular or organic shapes, which dialogue with the fluid proposal of the space.

diversity of tones and
intertwined veins .
6. Renato Mendonça - Atimo House | CASACOR Sao Paulo
Measuring 110 m², the house designed by architect Renato Mendonça reflects the maturation of a home focused on well-being, tranquility and coexistence. In the social area, the
island sculpted with XTONE Aged Clay material, by VM Stone, reproduces the creamy gray tone, harmonizing with the countertop and the kitchen niches. The stone brings an elegant design that connects us to nature, with a uniformly grained background and a variety of crystalline patterns. Highlighting the special
striatto finish on the high pediment of the countertop.
7. Sabrina Lücke Architecture and Interiors - Transcender Loft | CASACOR Santa Catarina | Itapema
Brunete Fraccaroli designed an 80 m² loft that showcases the future with new technologies and comfort. With a palette of blue tones, light wood and white, represented by the
ultra-compact XTONE Glem White Natural sheet , by VM Stone, the space exudes tranquility. The polar white of the stone and the continuity of the delicate crystalline veins with shades of gray and beige make up special details, such as a second layer of the headboard, in a creative application.
9. Luis Escobar, Nicole Prutsky - Huellas Naturales | CASACOR Peru
Designed by architects Luis Escobar and Nicole Prutsky, this space is a cultural fusion where values and emotions from the old and the new coexist. According to the professionals, the secret is to find the right balance for each one.
