Casa FOA Chile 2025: the sensory side of interior design

Casa FOA Chile 2025 has established itself as one of the most vibrant stages for discovering where interior design is heading in South America. Amid immersive atmospheres, sensory spaces, and concepts that reinterpret contemporary living, Neolith is present as a creative partner in numerous studios that have chosen sintered stone to bring their vision to life.

 

In this edition, Neolith appears in different spaces, showcasing its ability to adapt to very diverse projects: from intimate libraries and sculptural bathrooms to hotel bars full of symbolism, high-tech home cinemas, and coworking spaces. A journey that traces a map of trends while revealing new ways of experiencing materials.

 

A library to inhabit calm, by Elisa López

 

In “La Biblioteca”, designer Elisa López imagines a quiet retreat within the fast pace of everyday life. Inspired by the light of a clear day and that simple gesture of opening a book next to a sunny window, the space offers an experience of calm, reflection, and wellbeing.

 

Textures, light, scents, sounds, and greenery come together to create a balanced environment that encourages disconnection. In this context, Neolith becomes an essential part of the atmosphere.

 

 

“Neolith WhiteSands brings a very natural texture and a peaceful white tone, perfect for reinforcing the silent and luminous atmosphere of the space,” Elisa explains.

 

Thanks to its serene finish and tactile quality, Neolith WhiteSands helps the room feel harmonious and cohesive, supporting the idea of the library as an emotional refuge.

 

A bathroom inspired by the Mediterranean, by GC Interiorismo + Arquitectura

 

In “Sala de Baño by Roca”, designer Carlos Gallardo of CG Interiorismo + Arquitectura reinterprets Mediterranean ambience through a palette of beige, black accents, and materials that evoke stone, sand, and light wood. A vaulted ceiling culminates in a half-moon window that lets in natural light and enhances the relief and volumes.

 

The result is a contemplative, serene bathroom that goes beyond functionality to become an aesthetic experience.

 

 

“I used Neolith Calacatta Luxe in 6 mm, which allowed me to apply it both on the walls and on the drawer fronts of the vanity unit. Neolith ended up being key to reinforcing the Mediterranean aesthetic and the purity of the design,” the designer explains.

 

“Bar La Capilla,” contemporary liturgy, by Guzmán & Blanco “Los Larry”

 

In “Bar La Capilla,” created by Guzmán & Blanco “Los Larry”, sacred architecture is reimagined as an intimate, symbolic bar, awarded the Gold Medal at Casa FOA Chile 2025. Arches, mirrors, and translucent layers of color create a landscape between the mystical and the everyday, where the figure of David Bowie presides over the back wall as a “modern saint” celebrating difference and freedom.

 

 

In this context, Neolith becomes the perfect material to embody the idea of a contemporary altar. “We chose Niagara, a surface with pronounced veining and a sculptural presence to reinforce the feeling of solidity, permanence and sacrality,” say the space’s creative directors, Pablo Guzmán and Andrés Blanco, adding that “Neolith brings sophistication, durability and an almost stone-like reading that was essential for the contemporary chapel narrative we wanted to convey.”

 

Used on both the bar tops and in the washbasin area, Neolith Niagara unifies the space and supports the chromatic drama, balancing the interplay of golds, terracottas, and blues.

 

Immersion and technology in “Home cinema Neohaus,” by Montero Toskana Design

 

“Home Cinema Neohaus,” by Montero Toskana Design, offers a sensory journey where interior architecture is something to live, listen to, and explore. An interactive LED table and a main room wrapped in art, sound, and controlled light create a setting that speaks of the future and new ways of living with technology.

 

At the heart of this experience, Neolith is integrated into the central table, allowing it to house a touch screen that users can explore at 360°.

 

 

“Its strength and versatility made it possible to design a piece that is functional, technological and aesthetic at the same time… Its texture and color help preserve the elegance of the home cinema,” explain the team at Montero Toskana Design.

 

The Neolith surface acts as a robust support for digital interaction without sacrificing an elegant presence that aligns seamlessly with the furnishings and visual language of the space.

 

A bathroom that celebrates the curve, by Karla Mac Dermitt

 

In the bathroom designed by architect Karla Mac Dermitt, inspiration comes from the lines and curves of the female body. Vertical profiles that highlight the height, enveloping forms, a freestanding bathtub, and a large frameless oval mirror all contribute to a delicate, feminine, contemporary ambiance.

 

 

In this setting, Neolith plays a key role in shaping the sense of purity and continuity. “I chose Neolith Just White to bring brightness and clarity to the space. Its white tone was fundamental to reinforce the purity of the lines and highlight the continuity of the design,” says the architect, adding: “On the walls, I used Textile White, which created the perfect combination with the rest of the scheme.”

 

The mix of Just White and Textile White amplifies the light and strengthens the fluid perception of the space, where every curve is clearly defined thanks to the clean, uniform finish of the sintered stone.

 

Coworking inspired by the mountain range, by la Oficina Punto Interiorismo Asociada

 

The coworking space designed by Oficina Punto Interiorismo Asociada draws inspiration from southern Chile and the sense of shelter and calm conveyed by its landscapes. In just a few square meters, the project brings together collaborative areas, more intimate zones and quiet work corners, all with a strong human and welcoming focus.

 

 

To translate the idea of the mountain range into material, the studio turned to Neolith as a central part of the concept. “Its Lava, Arena, Rapolano and Artisan colors, along with their natural textures, allowed us to reinforce the aesthetic we were looking for: warm, organic and deeply connected to nature,” explains the studio’s founder, María Loreto Santibáñez.

 

The veining and tones of Neolith add depth and character, creating an interior landscape that envelops users and turns the coworking space into a place where working feels much closer to inhabiting a comforting natural setting.

 

Casa FOA Chile 2025 confirms that tomorrow’s design is built from emotion, experience, and material. Along this journey, Neolith positions itself as a creative partner for the participating studios, a material capable of adapting to very different spaces while driving new ways of imagining interior design for the future.
