Semibreve Studio: A São Paulo Apartment Honors a Designer's Pianist Mother
At Casacor São Paulo, Estúdio Clara Nahas showcases 'Semibreve Studio', a 55 sq m apartment located in Parque da Água Branca, dedicated to Nahas' deceased mother, a pianist. In the bedroom, her mother’s original score is prominently displayed. The living space features a Todeschini kitchen adorned with Giardino-tinted oak veneer and a sideboard designed for a record player. The studio's title draws inspiration from the semibreve, representing enduring tranquility. Guests access the private area by walking past the bedroom and study. A burgundy cylinder from Keramika houses the bathroom and study desk. The apartment highlights Brazilian design, featuring pieces by Lina Bo Bardi and Maria Bonomi. The exhibition is open until 9 August 2026.
