Pastel tones brighten the projects at CASACOR Bahia 2026 traduzido por: OPENROUTER

The pastel tones are present in different projects at CASACOR Bahia 2026, creating a chromatic narrative perfectly aligned with the aesthetic of the 18th-century mansion that the show occupies in Salvador. In its 32nd edition, held between July 7 and September 6, the event returns to Casa Nossa Senhora das Mercês, located on Avenida Sete de Setembro.

Under the theme Mind and Heart, architecture, design, and culture come together in projects that value emotion, memory and well-being. In this context, the soft palette emerges as a resource capable of taking on different meanings. In some spaces, it envelops the architecture almost entirely. In others, it appears in specific details that guide the eye or highlight particular elements. Below, we list seven projects at CASACOR Bahia 2026 that stand out for their use of pastel tones!

Reception and Ticket Office, by Carla Macedo Arquitetura

Right at the entrance, the Reception and Ticket Office, designed by Carla Macedo, presents a composition in which purple appears on the walls and on the TV panel. The choice creates a serene atmosphere for the beginning of the journey, establishing a transition between the movement of the city and the contemplative rhythm proposed by the show.

Grandma Malú's Corner, by Keu Batista and Paulo Figueira Interiores

In Grandma Malú's Corner – From Washing to Creating, by Keu Batista and Paulo Figueira, the pastel blue cabinetry organizes the entire composition of the space. Cabinets, countertops and niches share the same chromatic language, creating visual unity. The palette accompanies the affective proposal of the project – marked by family memories and objects linked to handcrafting.

Waters That Soothe, by Gabriel Magalhães

Gabriel Magalhães - Águias Que Acalmam - Deca. Projeto da CASACOR Bahia 2026. (Denilson Machado, do MCA Estúdio/CASACOR)

In the project Waters That Soothe, designed by Gabriel Magalhães, pastel blue envelops the floor, walls, ceiling and windows. The chromatic choice reinforces the contemplative atmosphere proposed by the project and establishes a direct relationship with the element that inspires its conception: water. Based on the ancestral Yoruba ritual Omí Tútú, the space proposes an experience marked by warmth and introspection.

Between Pauses, by Spínola Garcez Arquitetura

Spínola Garcez Arquitetura - Entre Pausas. Projeto da CASACOR Bahia 2026. (Camila Santos/CASACOR)

In Between Pauses, by Mariana Garcez and Luíza Spínola, soft purple appears outlining windows and walls near the openings. Instead of dominating the composition, the color functions as a delicate framing for the architecture. The choice follows the proposal of the projects, designed to welcome moments of concentration and rest. The tone dialogues with natural lighting and helps to connect the library, home office and intimate living area.

Kitchen and Dining, by Hugo Ribeiro

Hugo Ribeiro - Cozinha e Jantar. Projeto da CASACOR Bahia 2026. (Denilson Machado, do MCA Estúdio/CASACOR)

In the Kitchen and Dining, Hugo Ribeiro uses a combination of pastel green, blue and yellow to compose the cabinetry. The diversity of tones creates movement without compromising the lightness of the set. Inspired by 1970s Brazilian aesthetics and by affective memories linked to farmhouse kitchens, the project revisits these references through a contemporary reading, in which color takes part in the narrative without excesses.

Legacy That Inhabits Office, by Mally Requião

Mally Requião - Gabinete Legado Que Habita. Projeto da CASACOR Bahia 2026. (Camila Santos/CASACOR)

In the Legacy That Inhabits Office, Mally Requião chose a deep and softly desaturated blue to envelop the main wall of the projects. The tone creates a discreet backdrop for books, photographs, religious pieces and personal objects that pay tribute to Fernando Rocha Galvão. Instead of competing with these elements, the color reinforces the intimate character of the space and values its affective dimension.

Parallax Gustavo Eyewear, by Camila Maia

In Parallax Gustavo Eyewear, Camila Maia uses indigo blue walls and doors as part of the sensorial experience proposed by the projects. Inspired by the parallax phenomenon, the project invites the visitor to perceive how the change of point of view transforms the reading of the space. The softness of the palette dialogues with materials of greater presence, such as the stone wall, establishing a balanced contrast between depth and lightness.
