Moas Group
The company's headquarters in São Paulo brings together the offices and showrooms of its three brands.
The distinctive, versatile and sophisticated design reflects the important position that the Moas Group occupies in the Brazilian market. With 20 years of history and a presence throughout the country, its three brands – Buba, Buba Care and Mart – are references in the children's universe and home and decoration segment. This successful trajectory gains another chapter with the inauguration of the company's new headquarters, a Perkins&Will project that materializes the group's vision by cohesively combining office and showroom universes in shared spaces.
