Suite Arquitetos unveils rust-hued Casa Magma showcase in São Paulo
A warm-toned design spectacle woven with Portinari ceramics
1A design manifesto in warm hues
Brazilian studio Suite Arquitetos created Casa Magma for Casacor São Paulo 2026, centering Portinari ceramics in a residential concept. Across 215 square meters, red, walnut and terracotta tones offer an enveloping aesthetic. 'Born from the desire to create a contemporary shelter,' the team emphasizes the silent power of materials and textures.
2Spatial choreography with fluid forms
Visitors enter through a corridor formed by a curved wall clad in fluted ceramics. The central living area features a sunken design with an exposed column mimicking a fireplace. Velvet-upholstered arc sofas and rust-toned rugs integrate with original furniture by Brazilian designers.
3Pushing material experimentation
The studio notes Portinari tiles on walls and floors expand tactile experiences. In the minimalist bathroom, textured surfaces highlighted by soft recessed lighting complement matte brown fixtures. A sculptural chandelier with natural crystals becomes the kitchen's focal point.
4Echoes of Brazilian design heritage
The space balances artworks from Diego Rivera drawings to Odoardo Tabacchi sculptures with Rodrigo Zampol's metallic stools and Zanini de Zanine's relief panels. Joaquim Tenreiro's mid-century chairs complete the bar area under a custom pendant light.
5A milestone in Casacor's evolution
Following Studio Melina Romano's 2021 fiberboard showcase (Casa Alma) and Studio Arthur Casas' 2018 prefab house, Suite Arquitetos now presents a material-driven installation. Known for restaurant designs with upside-down planters and exposed ducts, the studio develops a new language here.
6Redefining spatial perception
The project builds on the idea of visitors 'feeling the space before rationally understanding it.' Aiming for a 'cocoon' effect through curved forms and warm palette, the design underscores experiential approaches in exhibition spaces. Documented by Pedro Ocanhas' photography, the installation remains open until August 9.
