Fernanda Marques' design inspiration for 'Goes Rock Too' came from the lifestyle of rock star Lenny Kravitz. The design features a double-height living room connected by a steel walkway, creating a grand yet intimate space. Marques describes the design as an "exuberant, somewhat idyllic construction," a fitting description for a space inspired by a rock star's lifestyle.
The unique properties of 'Goes Rock Too' lie in its well-balanced use of noble materials such as marble and mirrors, used extensively on walls and floors. The room is filled with a dynamic décor, including a marble bookcase filled with metal chains and a collection of vibrant, impactful photographs. Lighting plays a significant role in the design, accentuating the artworks and volumes that are essential to the space.
Marques' design realization technology involved using contrasting materials in unusual ways to create a dynamic décor. The marble bookcase filled with metal chains is a prime example of this. Everything in the room reflects the rock star's lifestyle and taste, from the book collection to the drink selection, offering an insight into the little great pleasures of a rock star's life.
The design, realized in a 70m² space, was a project of Fernanda Marques arquitetos associados. The project started in October 2012 in São Paulo and was completed in November 2012. The design's technical specifications and realization technology reflect Marques' commitment to creating spaces that are both monumental and intimate.
'Goes Rock Too' has been recognized with the prestigious Golden A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2013. This award is granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom. They are venerated products and bright ideas that advance art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.
