Check below the projects and products awarded at the iF Design Awards that were signed by the CASACOR cast:
Estante Samba assinada por Anna Maya. (Divulgação/CASACOR)
The Samba Shelf signed by Anna Maya is a piece that celebrates the fluidity of life and the constant transformation of projects. More than a fixed piece of furniture, the Samba is a living system, capable of growing, expanding, retracting, or reinventing itself. This flexibility is a direct reflection of its name. Just like samba, the shelf allows for improvisations, variations, and free movements. Winner in the Shelves category.
Apartamento Pulso, assinado por Fernanda Marques. (Divulgação/CASACOR)
The Pulso apartment reinterprets a 450 m² residence through a complete renovation guided by authentic materials and spatial coherence. The project signed by Fernanda Marques integrates architecture and interiors to express the contemporary Brazilian way of living – elegantly, functionally, and rooted in craftsmanship and culture. The apartment was a winner in the Interior Design category.
Memorial Brumadinho, assinado pelo escritório de Gustavo Penna. (Divulgação/CASACOR)
The design for the Brumadinho Memorial, signed by Gustavo Penna and incorporated by AVABRUM (Association of Families of Victims Affected by the Collapse of the Córrego do Feijão Dam), transforms the memory of the worst mining dam disaster in Brazil into a space of memory, resilience, and regeneration. Located in the disaster area, the architecture follows the contours of the land and invites a contemplative journey through 272 yellow ipe trees, one for each victim.
Luminária Cipó, assinada por Juliana Pippi. (Divulgação/CASACOR)
The CIPÓ Collection, signed by Juliana Pippi for Itens, explores the sisal rope, a rustic and sustainable natural material, combined with sculptural lamps integrated into the weaves. The introduction of brass and metal allowed for the creation of lamps in three sizes, combining manually braided sisal ropes and blown glass spheres in organic and customizable lighting compositions. Winner in the Lamp category.

Winner of the Interior Design category for Children's Room, the project redefines the concept of nursery as a manifesto of identity and affection. Inspired by Queen Njinga Mbandi, it celebrates female strength and African ancestry with emotional sophistication. The sensory design embraces mother and child in a symbolic refuge of love, where light and texture connect past and future.
[/caption>Winner in the Product category, the Take Me Lamp, signed by Lia Siqueira, references the song "Immediate Contact" by Arnaldo Antunes: "Take me for a walk, in your flying saucer." The piece emits a soft and diffused light through opaline glass or a fabric-covered diffuser, offering two distinct atmospheres. Designed to invite interaction, the upper disk allows direct adjustment of the light's intensity and temperature.
[/caption>Winner in the Architecture category, the proposed annex emerges as a space of union between body and soul. The composition of the architecture with the surroundings and the integration with nature proposes an atmosphere of well-being, connection, and balance for body and mind exercises. The project is signed by Siqueira + Azul Arquitetura.
[/caption>The collection by Marina Linhares with Portinari presents a line of sintered stone inspired by the taipa de pilão, an ancestral technique of Brazilian vernacular architecture. The collection meets the challenge of combining sophisticated aesthetics and extreme functionality, offering high resistance, hygiene, and durability, as well as sustainable attributes and advanced technology. In the photos, Marina Linhares's project for CASACOR São Paulo 2025 where the Taipa stone was applied. Winner in the Product category.
[/caption>Winner in the Furniture category, the Guaruçá Armchair by Mauricio Arruda takes inspiration from a Brazilian beach crab, translating its playful proportions into robust solid wood arms that invite relaxation. With generous seat and backrest, it conveys stability and presence, enhanced by a discreet stitching line that reveals precision in the design.
[/caption>Inspired by mangroves - where exposed roots sustain life - the Manguezal Stool by Mauricio Arruda values the base as a central element. The legs take center stage, with striking shapes that evoke totems and ancestral furniture, referencing the anthropophagous creations of Brazilian indigenous cultures. Winner in the Stool category.
[/caption>The Codajás residence, signed by the Migs Arquitetura office, updates an existing house without erasing its original architecture. The strategy of making specific contemporary interventions strengthens the relationship between interior and exterior, natural light, and cross ventilation. The project was a winner in the Residential Interiors category.
[/caption>The VNC Residence updates an existing apartment through selective interventions. The project signed by the Migs Arquitetura office has become the weekly home of a single resident, which motivated the integration of social areas, appreciation of views of greenery and a rare cut of São Paulo's skyline, as well as simplification of circulation. Winner in the Residential Interiors category.
[/caption>Resedá arises from the practice of designing houses meant to be lived in. Created by the MIGS Design studio, it is a multifunctional domestic trolley conceived to support everyday use: serving meals, organizing, supporting and moving between projects with ease. Winner in the Furniture category.
[/caption>Winner in the Corporate Office Interiors category, the project reflects a timeless and international perspective on work, with a natural integration of Brazilian art and furniture. This project for a private bank in São Paulo is signed by the office of Anastassiadis Arquitetura e Design.
