Shou Sugi Ban, an ancestral technique in CASACOR environments
Sala de Jantar, de Janaina Macedo para a CASACOR Paraná 2018

This traditional resource was used by some professionals at CASACOR 2018 to bring a vernacular touch to the environments. In the Villa Olivo Garden , at CASACOR São Paulo 2018 , landscaper Daniel Nunes used charred wood panels on the walls that cover the rosemary. In addition to being protected against humidity, the dark tone obtained contrasts with the bluish green of the foliage. At SysHaus , designed by Arthur Casas, a table that uses this technique is located right in the center of the room. The issue of professional Janaina Macedo, at CASACOR Paraná 2018 , did not directly involve the protection of the furniture, but rather a tribute to Shou Sugi Ban. In the center of the Dining Room , a large table made of carbonized Pequiá wood rests next to chairs by master Sergio Rodrigues.
