The
Barrolândia collection, created by architect Gabriel Fernandes and launched at
CASACOR São Paulo 2024 in partnership with the Maria do Barro Institute, gains new developments in retail alongside
Casa Bonita Décor. The new line,
presented at the 30th edition of ABUP, introduces an exclusive collection of table setting items. "I spent many days looking at the pieces during CASACOR and felt that I needed to expand this concept, unfolding it into new languages," says Gabriel Fernandes. In addition to Barrolândia, the architect also presents the Toile de Brasil print collection, which brings a tropicalized reinterpretation of the classic French illustration Toile de Jouy, with designs created by Brazilian artisans.

"I really enjoy working with textiles. I took this concept to CASACOR, but in a different language. In conversation with Cica [from Casa Bonita Décor], and with the office designer, Letícia, we arrived at 'Toile de Brasil', replacing traditional French landscapes with illustrations inspired by the work of Brazilian artisans," explains Gabriel.

The Barrolândia collection was launched at
CASACOR São Paulo 2024, in the
Casa Veredas Simonetto project by architect Gabriel Fernandes. The projects featured
2,500 niches filled with handmade bricks made by the
Maria do Barro Institute. The community, made up of women in vulnerable situations, now secures their
income exclusively through work with clay.
