The last edition of Casa Decor took place only nine months ago. And yet, today a new edition is born, in record time. This great event of Spanish interior design, which accommodates the best decorators and signatures of the habitat, luxury and lifestyle. This edition coincides with the end of winter and the incipient spring, which allows them to be an active part of all the cultural events of the month of February. They also give the opportunity to the participants to materialize all the opportunities and synergies that Casa Decor offers them, before the arrival of summer.

The visitor will find in this edition an explosion of color and creativity. The decorative arts emerge profusely through traditional crafts that recover artistic expressions such as ceramics, mural painting, cabinetmaking, metalworking or the fine work of glass. The avant-garde proposals of the interior designers anticipate modern homes with new arrangements, where the kitchen will never be far from the living room or where the bedrooms and bathrooms become microcosms inside the home.

26 YEARS, 53 EDITIONS
After having crossed the border of 25 years of existence, Casa Decor is in a splendid mature youth, in which each milestone is an attainable challenge. The event has exceeded 43,000 visitors per edition, as well as the number of spaces and participating companies. But the most important thing is not the numbers, but what is achieved after them: that our decorators, companies and visitors always have a renewed desire to return. Because Casa Decor brings to the visitor a unique and sensorial experience; to the interior designers, a platform to make their work visible; and to companies, an extraordinary business and promotion opportunity.

FRANCISCO DE ROJAS 2 BUILDING
Built between 1900 and 1903 by the Catalan architect Antonio Farrés Aymerich, this stately residential housing building is a magnificent example of Madrid's rich urban heritage. Its location, between the streets of Francisco de Rojas and Sagasta, with 55 meters of façade, gives it 68 vaulted windows that bathe most rooms with light. The influence of Catalan modernism, contribution of the architect, is the most notable feature in this building, especially the work of the balconies and staircase railings, with undulating lines and scrolls of vegetal inspiration. The frieze and the crowning of the façade, as well as the serial adornments of the chamfered viewpoints, are also striking. Rectangular, and with just over 3,100 m2, the building has four floors, a roof in the fifth and low commercial.

After the closing of this edition, the building will be refurbished, which will be carried out by Impar Grupo. Francisco de Rojas 2 will house 22 homes of different types, where the most valuable architectural elements integrated into modern and functional spaces will be preserved, without losing an ounce of the building's lordly charm.

THE INTERIORISTS
A total of 67 spaces have been intervened by a hundred decorators and interior design studios, coming from different parts of the country: Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Malaga, Murcia, Cordoba, Granada or Toledo. In this edition, we have the honor of having all the winners of the Casa Decor Prize for the Best Project of previous editions. Likewise, Asun Antó, winner of the Public Award 2017, will also be present with a suite with dressing room. We can not fail to mention the “dean” of Casa Decor, Diego Rodríguez, who is celebrating his 20th edition. In addition, we will be accompanied by habitual interior designers who have participated in several editions. However, the representation of “new” interior designers (who are not novices) amounts to 40%, which shows that Casa Decor not only consolidates as the platform chosen by the best interior designers of the moment, but maintains its foundational spirit by being the best showcase to present new talents and the work of professionals from all over the country.

It is significant that around 50% of companies repeat the experience and choose Casa Decor again to promote and launch their products or services. Many of them are large national and multinational companies, but they also have the honor of welcoming SMEs that, with their efforts, make it possible for Casa Decor to grow and represent more and more a sector in full recovery.

DECORATIVE TENDANCIES
Although Casa Decor always concentrates large doses of artistic and decorative creativity, in this edition there is a love expressed by the Arts&Crafts, a movement that promoted crafts and decorative arts at the end of the 19th century. Underlying all spaces is a clear artisan spirit and the good workmanship of traditional manufacture: exquisitely sculpted plaster, iridescent ceramics made with ancestral techniques, mosaics hand-laid in the Roman style, mural painting, wood carvings, sumptuous wallpapers ... In short, the projects of interior designers breathe artisan wealth on all four sides, with profuse elaborations on floors, walls, ceilings and ornaments.

In this maximalist explosion, decorative styles travel to different eras and continents, from the retrofuturism of the new Mid Century Style to the enveloping Art Deco lines, reinterpreted with current winks. The chromatic palette that dominates in many spaces focuses on pastel tones, especially pink and green, with touches of turquoise and peach. However, the funds chosen to create neutral scenes are gray and ocher, on which are added the brushstrokes of color. It consolidates trends such as paradisiacal tropicalism, flora and fauna in its most exotic version, matt gold ornaments and the oversized elements of furniture such as lamps, sofas and armchairs.

In terms of materials, stone surfaces (marble, granite, limestone, synthetic materials, etc.) continue to attract attention, in clear competition with velvet fabrics and gold metals. This handmade shell camouflages a technological universe that is increasingly present in today's interior design. After a piece of rustic wood furniture manufactured by craftsmen, the most sophisticated domotic system can be hidden. The technological advances applied to existing homes coexist with handcrafted wrappings, in a kind of marriage, perfect and fitted, between tradition, design and technology.
