After 20 years in South America, Casa Cor (“house of colour” in Portuguese) the design exhibition that enlists architects and designers to create over-the-top showrooms to benefit charity, had taken the concept to design-crazed Scandinavia. Sixty Swedish and Brazilian artists had transformed Stockholm’s century-old T-House into a lavish 35-room home designed with a fictional family of 13 in mind.
We were invited to create the room for the art. We had collaborated with Wetterling Gallery to exhibit artworks that had a commun black theme like a sculpture by Bernar Venet or a photography by Nathalia Edenmont. The idea was to make a lava scenographic scene that will put in foreground the art works. A carpet was specially designed and produced with inlay of led lights. The lounge sofa was created as a central peace to lay down. A music composer had produced an adapted melody that was plaid during the visiting hours.
