Pantone 2025 – Mocha Mousse
Projects that explore the sophistication of the color of the year, featured in spaces that harmonize comfort, elegance, and personality. Architects explain how they applied this shade in different compositions, resulting in a neutral palette that creates impeccable visual balance in the spaces.
Colors have the power to transform environments, evoking sensations, adding personality, and creating unique atmospheres. The shade chosen as Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025, Mocha Mousse, is a sophisticated, warm, and inviting brown that evokes comfort and elegance. For Ornare, this soft brown hue proves to be an extremely versatile color, suitable for everything from minimalist designs to more intricate compositions.
Project by Deborah Roig
Architect Deborah Roig chose the Mocha Mousse shade to define this space, where the color’s presence in the furniture adds depth without compromising subtlety.
“The color made all the difference in the space. With light-toned floors and walls, the choice of Mocha Mousse made the kitchen feel warmer and cozier without being overly colorful, in a discreet way that aligned with the client’s preference for a more sober and elegant shade.” – Deborah Roig
The project gains even more identity with the integration of the Paris Line, which reinterprets classic elements in a contemporary dialogue. The padded door panels, a hallmark of this collection, enhance the refinement and bring a sense of timelessness to the design, while the subtle lighting accentuates the textures and carefully selected materials.
Project by Ximenes Leite Architects
Designed by Ximenes Leite Arquitetura, this space embodies a timeless concept where the precisely applied neutral shade reinforces the identity of the environment.
“The color helped create a cozy, sophisticated, effortless, and timeless atmosphere, in line with the homeowners’ vision. Even in a sober setting, this composition allowed us to define a distinctive, personalized, and luxurious personality.” – André and Bruna Ximenes
The integration of elements from the Crystal Case and Linear lines enhances the balance between transparency and solidity. The Crystal Case, with its glass doors and aluminum profiles, acts as a sophisticated showcase, separating spaces without compromising the lightness of the composition. Meanwhile, the Linear line, with its minimalist cabinet design and delicate metallic handles, adds a touch of modernity to the kitchen.

“This client wanted a contemporary, sophisticated closet with a feminine touch that was not conventional. To meet this request, we combined two shades, offering exclusivity to the project.” – Marília Veiga
The closet’s cabinets, equipped with the Crystal Case line, further enhance the elegant tones of the composition. At the center, the Vanity Island, with its metallic finishes and rounded edges, completes the space with a refined aesthetic.

The choice of this shade was essential in delivering both coziness and sophistication. We aimed for an environment that felt both modern and timeless, and the color provided precisely that balance.”

Project by Hayasaki Architecture
Architects Fabiano Hayasaki and Tania Hayasaki also embraced the Pantone Color of the Year for this versatile project.
“When designing this home office in a 750m² apartment, we created a cozy and elegant space using a soft, rich, and inviting brown that fulfills our desire for comfort. Infused with subtle elegance and earthy refinement, it carries a touch of glamour and sophistication, wrapping us in its sensory warmth.” – Fabiano Hayasaki
The composition blends intelligent design with functionality, highlighting the Wall System and Wave lines. The Wall System features panels that adapt to the user’s needs, allowing for dynamic combinations of shelves, niches, and work surfaces. The Wave line, known for its essential forms and integrated linear handles, adds a sophisticated visual rhythm to the space, ensuring a flawless finish and minimalist aesthetic.
