Argentine architecture has always been dramatic. In 2026, Buenos Aires lobbies are stages. We explore the style we call 'Concrete Tango.' It's a game of contrasts: rough, exposed concrete (Hormigón a la vista) clashes with soft, warm leather and theatrical lighting. These interiors aren't for work, but for a life full of emotion. Learn how to turn a chunk of cement into the office's sexiest object.
Hormigón: Concrete as Sculpture
In Argentina, concrete is poured with love. We use formwork from wooden boards with pronounced texture, imprinted on the desk surface. The reception looks like petrified wood. This material is 'honest'; it ages beautifully. We often leave concrete surfaces looking wet ('wet stone' effect), coating them with special varnishes to enhance drama.
Patagonian Leather
Warm Contact
Argentina is the capital of leather. We upholster the inner part of the desk (admin zone) and waiting areas with thick buffalo leather. The scent of leather mixes with concrete, creating a unique olfactory profile. Rusty and cognac shades work as a color accent against the gray background, warming the space.
