Back to the past, style is accompanied by the desire for a more cozy home, full of stories and meanings
Those who want an elegant home full of memories will be enchanted by the new decoration trend.. The “modern retro” mixes current elements with old items and objects that awaken good feelings and nostalgia. Eclectic, full of personality and affectionate memories, these environments match plants, geometric patterns, wallpapers and furniture from designers consecrated.
The trend is accompanied by the desire for a more cozy home and greater appreciation of contact with nature. The idea gained strength with the pandemic, especially for the awakening of feelings. Missing and remembering real experiences and what they mean is what is behind the resumption of the style.
According to the architect of the A.Yoshii Group, Ana Paula Pimentel, styles always find a way to return. “You know that old family armchair or piece of furniture, with sentimental value? Can be reshaped to differentiate an environment. If you don't have such an item, you can certainly count on a professional who will find and customize a piece to compose your home”, notes.
Betting on retro style is, at the same time, simple and sophisticated. “It is important to differentiate the vintage from retro. The first is something truly ancient and has, at least, 20 years of existence. Retro, on the other hand, is defined by something new with an old look and inspired by past decades.. In this case, We say that furniture is a rereading and reinterpretation of the past”, explains Anna Paula.
Broadly, the curation of these environments involves a mixture of contemporary elements with affective pieces that have been passed down from generation to generation. “The purpose of this trend is to recall the aesthetics of the past, matching furniture that may have been salvaged or restored, imprinting a soft and nostalgic personality to the environment”, details the architect. In addition, the space has a more sober air, classic and bucolic. “The classic prints, aged tones, wooden furniture and objects found in antique shops are part of these characteristics”, complements.
In addition to indoor environments
If, on the one hand, the intimacy of the modern retro style is making indoor environments increasingly cozy and unique, the new architectural projects of the developments also follow this guideline. Oh Noah, in Maringá, it is ethereal, with exclusive views of Barigui Park, in Curitiba (PR), both of Group A.Yoshii, are some examples of constructions with curvilinear and organic aesthetics.
The organic forms on the facades of buildings are trends in the architecture of 2023. Before, I forms are rare, rigid and industrial were synonymous with sophistication, but, now, the movement is back, providing lighter and fluid environments. “Organic forms suggest flexibility and movement. In the practice of architecture, these shapes are applied with natural coatings, colors reminiscent of nature and curved lines, remembering the decades of 1960 and 1970. It's very interesting how the design curved, with softer and rounded shapes, both furniture and structures, came back with such force”, comments the architect.
as a source of inspiration, A.Yoshii's latest release in song city, Maringá, Noah prioritizes a curvy and fluid façade. Me about Ethereum, located in the capital of Paraná, It also stands out for its organic and smooth façade., referring to the natural landscape of Barigui Park.
