First launched in 1987 by a group of friends who wanted to raise the profile of design in Brazil, Casa Cor is now the largest architecture and design event in the Americas and the second largest in the world, attracting over 620 thousand people every year. Following on from the tradition established in the first event, which saw 25 design professionals stamp their mark on 22 indvidual rooms in a private house São Paulo, Casa Cor Rio will open on the 3rd of October in one of the city´s most historic buildings, a former hotel that dates back to the belle-epoque and lines Flamengo´s charismatic Av. Rui Barbosa. Drawing together Brazil´s top architects, designers and decorators, Casa Cor provides the space for them to set their creative spirits free, working in collaboration to individually style each of the historic rooms, and inject a new lease of life into the former hotel while offering visitors the cutting edge in design trends and ideas spread over 3 levels.
Intown take to the Casa Cor floor for the first time this year, working in partnership with Casa & Gourmet Shopping, they have designed a space on the comercial floor of the exhibition which will function as a lounge area to host gourmet events, mirroring the concept of recently launched Casa&Gourmet Shopping, which aims to bring together design and culinary art. The space will feature furniture by design legend Sergio Rodrigues, lighting from Lumini and a selection of Brazil´s hottest emerging artists, including a serious contribution from graffiti artists Toz.
