CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2022: what is your favorite commercial environment?

01/05 - Adriana Fontana Interior Design - Café Botânico. The professional brought nature, with its colors and shapes, to create the space. "With the pandemic, we got closer to nature and this is directly reflected in the interior design”, he says. Organic shapes appear in the furniture and countertops, where J'Adore quartzite stands out. Among the colors, green is in the covering maxiformat, with the touch and look of a painting. And the orange warms and welcomes, as does the indirect lighting and basketwork with natural weaves and textures. As a counterpoint, a sculpture made with discarded car belts and cotton threads gives movement. The mix of colors also appears on the ceiling, where orange, green and blue delimit the preparation, service and lounge areas. (Felipe Araújo)

02/05 - Patricia Makhoul and Angela Dorascenzi - Perplan Restaurant. Attractive and eccentric, the restaurant provides a unique experience. There are sensory stimuli everywhere – from the aromas and flavors of the food to the touch of the coverings, from the decoration details to the music scene. As you stroll through the space, your eyes encounter an exuberant mix of colors. “We chose shades of purple to reflect and symbolize our boldness and energy, and the pink palette refers to companionship and sensitivity.” In addition to the colors, this contemporary and intimate project also highlights the soft textures from Arter, the quartzite from Sigramar, with sinuous and delicate lines, and the hexagonal ceramic tiles from Atlas. The 3D Tiles pieces, from Colormix, add a special touch to the lush scenery. In the bathroom, the stars are the cylindrical taps designed by Ricardo Bello Dias and the counter basins, all by Deca.

03/05 - Caru Cunha Arquitetura - Silvia Camargo Arquitetura e Urbanismo - Paladar Infinito. The premise is the preference for natural materials. Based on this, architects Silvia Camargo and Caru Cunha, new to CASACOR, brought together elements to create a minimalist emporium, tailored to bring products to life and, at the same time, whet the palate. The atmosphere is one of tranquility and well-being. It is created by the use of neutral tones and natural textures, such as the stones on the counter and in the garden, in addition to the lighting using shadows and light. “We seek a dialogue between the building and the visitor through this humanized environment, which brings them closer to the products that are demonstrated and tasted.” (Felipe Araújo)

04/05 - Thais Arruda Campos - Container de Essências Mel Brushes. Enchantment is the word that best describes the environment created by Thais Arruda Campos. The architect, whose work is marked by balance and lightness, presents a combination of music, aromas and textures that stirs the senses of visitors and, at the same time, transmits comfort. “The Container de Essências was conceived as a place to recharge our batteries when we return to our safe haven. With this concept, we put the senses to work, actively, through music, aroma, touch and sight”. To achieve this, Thais also counts on the talent of artist Renata Carrascosa, who appears in the choice of the color palette and the composition of natural textures that give even more personality to the project.

05/05 - Marcelo Tamassia - Blu Home Store. The inspiration for the space is the minimalism of Japanese stores. The architect Marcelo Tamassia, who designed the Praça da Família at CASACOR 2018 (in partnership with Sarita Ávila), returns to the show this year to design the Blu Home Decor store, based in Ribeirão Preto. The atmosphere is clean, to ensure that the design and decoration pieces for sale take center stage. Designed for multiple uses, the furniture features components that adapt to display products of different styles and sizes. In keeping with the minimalist concept, the option for white cubes and shelves and vertical layers creates a flexible and visually cleaner space. (Felipe Araújo)
