With 28 spaces created by 35 professionals from the areas of architecture, decoration, interior design and landscaping, CASACOR Espírito Santo 2023 is an inescapable invitation to reflection. This year's theme, Body and Home , explores the idea that a home should be a natural extension of the individual and their connection with the outside world. This approach is manifested in the layout of the exhibition itself, where conventional homes with rigid divisions give way to integrated spaces, such as studios measuring around 40 m² and lofts measuring approximately 100 m². This shows that people value the meaning of home more than ever, where size is not necessarily synonymous with quality of life. What is non-negotiable are the bonds of connection, emotional memories and a sense of belonging. Home and interpersonal relationships are shaping a new way of living and socializing. Check out all the environments! [galeria-abril id="156664" type="slider_super" showtitle="undefined" data-restrict="false"] In 2019 , the exhibition took place at Clube Ítalo Brasileiro , and since then, the world has undergone significant transformations. People have revolutionized their lifestyles, relationships, work and, above all, the way they inhabit their spaces. In 2023, CASACOR ES returns to the same location, however, with a new purpose enriched by post-pandemic lessons. The choice of the Clube Ítalo Brasileiro as the venue for the exhibition is significant, as it is a space full of references and memories of Italian colonization and of CASACOR ES itself. As we approach the commemorative date of the 150th anniversary of the first Brazilian city of Italian colonization, Santa Teresa, in the mountains to the north of the state, the exhibition revisits the space of the last CASACOR held before the pandemic.

An aesthetic of organic shapes, sinuous lines, welcoming embraces provided by robust but soft upholstery predominate, all surrounded by natural materials such as wood, stone and an abundance of vegetation. The blue of the sea frames the club, offering stunning views of parts of Vitória and neighboring Vila Velha. Veterans and young talents collaborated to create a harmonious home, regardless of their professional styles. The journey at CASACOR ES 2023 begins with the façade, "Facciata del Mar", which blends contemporary elements with Tuscan influences. Architect Arthur Lahaas designed arches adorning the main gate, where cascades of climbing plants soften the grandeur of the space. This fusion of rounded shapes with a clean design is a recurring theme that extends to the "Design Checkpoint".

This feature is repeated in several other environments, such as the “Italian Loft” by Larissa Villaschi , the floor of the balcony of the “Skyline Restaurant” by Aline Leivas and in the “Wine Spot” by Mariana Freitas and Mayra Catabriga , as well as details in the “Varanda do Enófilo” by Bruna Perim . CASACOR veterans and regulars, such as interior designer Sérgio Palmeira , who designed the “Loft do Jovem Casal” (Young Couple’s Loft), Letícia Finamore , “Techno Lounge” and Cyane Zoboli , “Loft Deca”, focus on spaciousness, horizontality and the appreciation of the view, as well as natural elements such as wood. The best connection with nature is, after all, to be immersed in it, and the Clube Ítalo Brasileiro offers a lush setting of sea, vegetation and endless views. Sunlight is invited to enter, pass through and illuminate the spaces. Connectivity and diversity of spaces are also essential aspects. This is reflected in the “Café Coworking Marelli” by Laís de Sá , the “Sala de Maquiagem” by Rafaela Reis and Lorena Dar'c , and the “Golden Eye” eyewear store by Renata Tristão .

Italian tradition on the island of Victoria

CASACOR Espírito Santo 2023 also turns its attention to the Italian-Brazilian Club , on Ilha do Boi, and to the history of the arrival of Italians in Santa Teresa, the first point of Italian colonization in the country. With its rich gastronomic tradition, excellent wines, elegance, design and fashion, Italy landed in Espírito Santo in 1874, bringing with it the cultural heritage and innovative spirit that made it one of the cradles of Western civilization. Since then, the Italian influence has profoundly marked the state, with 60% of its population being descendants of these immigrants. And it is in Santa Teresa, recognized as the first city with Italian colonization in Brazil, that this connection is most pulsating. The foundation of the Clube Ítalo Brasileiro, in turn, has its roots in 1968. The club's first temporary headquarters was established on Avenida Jerônimo Monteiro. It was with the landfill of Enseada do Suá and the contribution of the former Comdusa that the definitive headquarters on Ilha do Boi, with an area of 27 thousand m², could be built from 1971. The famous structure in the shape of a Flying Saucer, designed by architects Humberto Zouin Suadi and Nireu Oliveira Cavalcante, was also completed five years later and became the stage for iconic dances in the 1980s and 1990s.
