Wallpaper* decided to do a whole edition on Brazil. June's Born in Brazil issue with a
big party in New York at Tribeca's Espasso, a design furniture store owned by Brazilian Carlos Junqueira (the event was co-hosted by Shopping Iguatemi's CEO, Carlos Jereissati).
Here are a couple of photos of the party, courtesy of

Fasano Rio rooftop pool, which has the advantage of offering the best possible view of Rio's famous "Dois Irmãos" mountains.
There's also a third, limited-editioncover edited by celeb-artist Vik Muniz:
