The exhibition Casa Cor Rio is an event where the best and most famous designers and architects design their spaces, like a fashion show, using a lot of creativity and seeking to present to the public the biggest releases of materials, technologies and design concepts. In 2017 it took place in a recently revitalized area in the Port Area of Rio de Janeiro, which was conceived for the recovery of urban infrastructure, transportation, environment, and historical patrimony. In this scenario emerges Aqwa Corporate, a luxurious corporate complex designed by the partnership Foster + Patners and Tishman Speyer. Gisele Taranto received the challenge of decorating the grand Lobby. Since the space was designed by a team of great architects, the intervention in space had to be very careful. With a selection of remarkable materials and a neutral color palette, we were responsible for its layout, except for its reception desk. We developed a layout that did not compete with the architecture, but rather complemented it. The concept of the Lobby was designed to reflect the monumentality of the construction and to be integrated with its scenery. The view to the Guanabara Bay was highlighted with a selection of comfortable and easy to maintain furniture. The layout was so well received by the public and the owners of the enterprise that it remained after the end of the exhibition, being part of the Aqwa Corparate Complex permanently.
