  • Firma Casa by the Campana Brothers
    When Sonia Diniz Bernardini invited the incredibly talented <a href="http://www.campanas.com.br/">Campana Brothers</a> to give her <a href="http://www.firmacasa.com.br/">Firma Casa furniture store</a> an eye-popping upgrade, she must have been a little shocked when they suggested to clad the entire building in 3,500 vases filled with spiky African plants. Even so, they and the budding new design firm <a href="http://www.superlimao.com.br/busca.php">SuperLimão Studio</a> were given carte blanche, and the 500 square meter mixed-use building completed this year has a bold, super green look!

    The ground outside of the store has been laid with elastopave, which allows proper rainwater drainage

    The interior cooling and lighting infrastructure was laid bare, giving the store an industrial chic ambience.

    The plants are popular in Brazilian mythology for having a protective influence

    We're not sure about the level of protection they offer, but the green and metal facade definitely gives the Firma Casa eye-popping appeal!
