Leo Romano is a veteran at
CASACOR , known for having signed projects in four editions in São Paulo, as well as Brasília and Goiás. This year, however, marks his first participation in the
Rio de Janeiro show. The debut proved to be an opportunity for the designer to reinterpret the famous Rio de Janeiro colors of green and blue from a very personal perspective – which, in a way, also evaluates the generic understanding of Brazilianness. His roots in Goiás gave him the "peculiarity", as he himself put it, necessary for anyone who wants to rethink Carioca culture.
The contemporary furniture features pieces by the Campana brothers and collections designed by the architect. Playful elements and childhood memories break expectations in a setting that also features classic items such as the Mole armchair by Sérgio Rodrigues – but in an unusual way that instigates the look and provoke visitors.
