The space of 170m² by José Navarro, features reflective materials, meticulously positioned, that invite reflection on the use of time. Also inspired by motorsport, the speed and reflections of a moving car, the project integrates items that suggest a futuristic aesthetic, in balance with natural materials as wood, rock, fabrics and cotton weaves, and a lot of comfort. The neutral color palette, combined with natural lighting, creates a welcoming and minimalist atmosphere.
The journey through space does not allow a direct path, emphasizing the need to experience and reflect on each step. Right at the beginning, the visitor passes through a darker floor with a Zen garden, where the pebbles symbolize the fluidity of rivers, capturing the essence of nature in an abstract way.
“I want people to reflect not only on the space around them, but also on the world around them and the relationship they have with time. Amid an atmosphere that combines elements of art, time and speed, the space becomes a portal for introspection and contemplation, offering an experience that goes beyond the visual and aesthetic”, says Navarro.
