There's very little left now! Just a few more days and CASACOR Rio will once again open the doors of Residência Brando Barbosa , where it is based for the second year in a row. This time, the palace that won over locals and tourists with its classic charm appears different, with much more contemporary environments and a very original configuration. Out goes the idea of a house, in comes that of a cultural institute .
And what can't be missing in a space like this? A Music Room, of course. The environment (image above), decorated by Tiago Freire , kept the piano that belongs to the Residence and featured many works of art, including popular art . And there is even more to see there, such as a beautiful tribute to the artist Nelson Leirner , who would turn 90 in 2022 – but that spoiler remains until the opening of the exhibition.

And, as is customary, there is also a lot of national design . In addition to iconic pieces that we are already used to seeing, this edition will bring new releases, such as furniture designed by the duo Adriana Valle and Patricia Carvalho , for their Winter Garden; and also reissues, such as from Bernardo Figueiredo 's bookshelf, by the Contemporary Archive. The piece is one of the highlights of Espaço Prosa, by Paula Neder and Coletivo PN+ .
