Casa ÂMAGO: Biophilic Design at CASACOR Santa Catarina 2026

Casa ÂMAGO, a 90 m² installation by Brazilian architect Mariana Maisonnave, will be presented at CASACOR Santa Catarina 2026 in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil. The project explores biophilic design and emotional well-being through interconnected living, sleeping, and bathing spaces. It responds to the fair's theme "Mind and Heart" by balancing reason, emotion, and presence. The design features natural light, indirect lighting, organic materials, and abundant vegetation. Sustainability is addressed through responsible material selection, including a reclaimed tree trunk used as a vanity base and the Vestígios furniture collection made from Egyptian stone remnants. The material palette includes natural stone, solid wood, mineral mosaics, linen, and cotton. Notable elements include Tauari wood veneer, Mosarte's Origem travertine collection, Egyptian stone cladding, and ceramic planters by artist Nina Martinelli. Furniture combines contemporary Brazilian pieces with international icons like Hans Wegner's Flag Halyard Chair. Artworks include Paulo Gaiad's "Paisagem – Costa da Lagoa" and Camila Saavedra's "Cura" series. The installation is featured in Glocal Design Magazine's 89th edition, "Visionarias del espacio," which profiles 15 female architects and interior designers in Mexico, with covers by Prince Láuder and Jimena Estíbaliz.
