CASACOR Brasília 2017: Lounge revisits the capital's architecture
Architect Larrissa Dias was inspired by the architecture of the Brazilian capital to design her project for CASACOR Brasília 2017 , an edition that marks her 9th participation in the show. In the 320 m² of the Brasília Lounge , platforms define the environments and recall the sectorized neighborhoods of the planned city. The entire project was developed from a large set of photographic panels obtained from high-resolution satellite images, faithfully representing the architecture and urbanism of Brasília. The work, which was part of the exhibition Brasília – from utopia to Capital, is signed by architects Antônio José Pereira, Carlos Eduardo de Vasconcellos and Raphael Mourim Cabral, and presents, in an area of 21×17 km, the curves of the Pilot Plan, up to the year 2010. The different areas of the Lounge offer a cozy and perfect environment for entertaining. The base is made up of burnt cement walls and a concrete-colored plastered ceiling. The pillars were covered in Corten steel, revisiting the industrial aesthetic along with the exposed electrical conduits. in the same tone as the wooden slat panels, which also fill the panels installed on the ceiling and wall of the entrance hall, to provide better acoustics, and the floorboards, with pine blocks installed in the shape of fish scales. The furniture includes pieces by designers from the time the city was built, such as Sergio Rodrigues and Bernardo Figueiredo, and a composition of large Vietnamese vases by Cássio Veiga Casa. The space also has original pieces, such as the various lamps designed by the professional. The paintings are by artist Márcio Rapello, in homage to artist Lúcio Fontana, painter of Arte Povera, an artistic movement that originally developed in the second half of the 1960s, in Italy. The composition of works also includes a large photo of Brasília signed by Clausem Bonifacio. The lighting highlights special and carefully selected decorative objects, such as African straw baskets that add color to the environment. CASACOR BRASILIA SERVICE 2017
