AIA Estudio has designed the interiors of the Botti Store in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Located in Ipanema and founded in São Paulo by designer Bruna Botti, the brand embodies not only the sophistication and urban sensibility of its city of origin, but also a strong connection to craftsmanship and nature.

This project therefore sought to translate these elements into an architecture that unites urban and natural references in a symbiotic way.

The flooring is divided by a curved line that evokes the meeting of sea and sand: on one side, an earthy carpet; on the other, a light-toned microcement surface that abstracts coastal landscapes through materials more commonly associated with the urban environment.

The result is a light, ethereal, and sustainable surface that becomes the central atmosphere-defining element of the store.
