The new Fiat Uno, turned into a vase for a coconut tree, and a Fiat 500 in a themed garage are the standout attractions at the decoration design exhibition CasaCor, in Minas Gerais, Brazil. During this edition of the show, Fiat Automóveis is present and displaying the boldness and modernity of the new new cars, getting the attention of those who pass through avenue Joăo Pinheiro, one of the main avenues in Belo Horizonte.

At the event’s entrance, the New Fiat Uno is exhibited in a surprising manner, as a plant vase, made of fiberglass and reproduced in actual car size proportions. Assembled by the agency The Marketing Store, the project was inspired by the action “To make a tree”, conducted in Europe, which used the Fiat 500 as planters spread throughout the streets firstly of the city of Milan and then most recently in Paris. In the Brazilian edition, the New Uno is the base for a large coconut tree.

The exhibition also features a project by architect Pedro Lázaro, which presents the Fiat 500 in a stylised loft, where the car is an essential part of the scenario. “The ambience has the characteristics of who owns a Fiat 500, such as modernity and taste for products with sophisticated design. The spaces are integrated, suggesting the practicality of this modern consumer,” says Pedro Lázaro. Creativity and sophistication gave the installation the award for Best Ambience in the exhibition.

“The concept of sophistication showcased every year at CasaCor has everything to do with our new models, which are increasingly bolder in design and technology. With this initiative, we are able to communicate with an audience who looks for exclusive products,” says Joăo Batista Ciaco, Marketing and Advertising Director at Fiat.

Clients of L’Unico, Fiat’s relationship program with premium customers (consumers of the models Fiat 500 and Linea), will have the opportunity to see the projects up close and will receive invitations to visit CasaCor, which is being held until October 25.
