Casa Decor has crossed borders and, from being a local event, has managed to project itself beyond the sector and our country.The first edition of Casa Decor was in October 1992, and it was added to a year of great events, such as the Olympic Games, the Seville Expo and the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Meeting of Two Worlds.At that time, decoration (not interior design) was an elitist affair in which, for the first time, 50 interior designers, decorators, architects, landscapers and artists met in an old convent on General Oráa Street.Since then, Casa Decor has played an active and constant role in the training and dissemination of design and interior design in our society.Not only has it made companies and professionals in the sector known, but it has inoculated the need to conceive interior design as a basic necessity.During these 30 years, Casa Decor has been at the forefront of technological developments, materials and new housing formulas.It has served as a creative and experimental laboratory in the application of new materials and models of living and has not only brought together great names in interior design;rather, it is, above all, a discoverer and launcher for young design professionals.This year special relevance and visibility has been given to saving energy and natural resources, thanks to the advanced technology of the electrical and home automation systems of many of the firms participating in this edition.With a total of 57 intervened spaces, the tour runs through six floors of the Goya 89 building, in which more than one hundred interior designers, architects, designers, landscapers and artisans take the visitor on a sensory journey through diverse and surprising environments.Some are well-known names, such as the art and interior design studio, made up of Jaime Jurado and Mónica Bartolessis;Fran Cassinello of Mandalay;Marta Labrador, Sinmas Studio, Estudio Muher or Javier Escobar.Others debuted in 2021, such as Somos2Studio, Nometri, Estudio Querencia or Studio MO.Raw materials such as cement are softened by warm and enveloping interiors.Round shapes, a resource widely used in designs in recent years, are present in walls with sinuous undulations, walls without edges, semicircular arches, curved seats, circular tables or irregular ovals.Backlit natural stone, onyx and alabaster gain positions, while Calacatta marble, with its dark veining on white canvas, is preferred for large surfaces.Light wood is still a constant in today's decorations.More than ever, traditional materials, such as brick, clay or lime, share the limelight with ceramic, rope, leather or bamboo objects, endowing the interiors with great craftsmanship.These are some of the bets that Casa Decor 2022 has left for the main
