BoomSPDesign 2026 Celebrates the Ancestral Roots of the Caruanas and the Amazon Rainforest Through the Eyes of Beto Cocenza.

 

Between March 9th and 15th, the traditional Circolo Italiano di San Paolo will host another edition of Boom Design SP 2026, conceived by businessman Beto Cocenza. The event has already established itself as one of the most creative gatherings of contemporary Brazilian design, bringing together furniture, art, crafts, and innovation in a single space.

 

Each year, Beto Cocenza renews the project's concept, proposing new sensory and aesthetic experiences through original furniture and Brazilian crafts. In 2026, however, the proposal reached an even deeper level by highlighting the theme "Caruanas – ancestral roots," bringing to the forefront the symbolic power of the Amazon. The concept delves into the cultural and spiritual origins of the forest, transforming the stories and achievements of peoples and territories into inspiration for design pieces and works of art. The project, conceived by Rozana Trilha, seeks to value traditional knowledge and Amazonian ancestry as a tool for economic and social development.

 

Regional artists and local artisans were given prominence, presenting creations that reflect Brazilian cultural identity. The result was a true celebration of nature and traditions, transformed into unique pieces that combine aesthetics, sustainability, and memory.

 

Among the participating companies, innovative proposals stood out, such as By Poli, which presented resin furniture with a contemporary finish, and Tapecouro, with sophisticated upholstery solutions resulting in a very high standard in this sector.

 

The environments also highlighted pieces from the Italian company Natuzzi Italia, known worldwide for its sophisticated sofas and refined design. Another highlight was the presence of Convier Móveis, which presented sustainable furniture with exclusive design and high resistance to sunlight—true spectacles of nature transformed into furniture—as well as Papelee—a landmark in the innovation and sophistication of wallpapers that carries environmental commitment and original design.

 

One of the most interesting aspects of Beto Vicenza's curation was precisely the integration of companies from different regions of Brazil, many of them outside the traditional São Paulo design circuit. Convier itself, for example, originates from Alexânia, Goiás, demonstrating that the creativity and excellence of Brazilian design flourish in diverse territories. Companies from the state of Paraná also brought authenticity and sophistication, presenting chairs and tables that express the aesthetic diversity of the country.

 

More than a furniture exhibition, Boom Design SP 2026 revealed itself as a complete cultural experience—where art, nature, tradition, and innovation meet. Under Beto Vicenza's curatorial vision, the event reaffirms the potential of Brazilian design as an expression of identity, sustainability, and cultural richness.

IVAA is born with an innovative proposal for the treatment, prevention, and care of animals without resources. 

Veterinary medicine in Brazil has undergone significant transformations in recent years, reflecting a substantial shift in social awareness regarding animal care and protection. In this context, innovative initiatives are emerging that go beyond traditional clinical practice, integrating assistance, care, and social responsibility. One such initiative is led by veterinarian Dr. Márcio Jacob, recognized by the Brazilian  Sciences, Letters and Arts's Academy, where he received the "Paws Angels " award for his contribution to animal welfare.

 

Driven by a trajectory marked by observing social inequalities and animal abandonment in Brazilian cities, Dr. Márcio Jacob conceived the creation of institutes specializing in animal care, with a special focus on abandoned dogs or those from families without the financial resources to afford veterinary treatment. The project stems from the understanding that animal welfare is directly linked to the evolution of human consciousness and collective responsibility for life.

 

The proposal of these institutes goes beyond basic care. The model envisions a comprehensive structure focused on the care, treatment, and rehabilitation of animals, including surgeries, veterinary clinics, prevention programs, vaccination campaigns, and even boarding services for rescued or vulnerable animals. Furthermore, the initiative seeks to encourage donations and partnerships, strengthening a support network that will expand the project's reach.

 

Another innovative aspect of the proposal is the integration of education, training, and responsible adoption, creating an environment that favors not only the treatment of animals but also raising societal awareness about the importance of respect and care for animal life.

 

Currently, the project is in the structural planning phase and analyzing potential locations in the state of São Paulo where the institute will be implemented. Although the location is still being defined, the expectation is that construction will be completed and the institution inaugurated sometime in 2026, marking a new chapter in the model of social veterinary assistance in Brazil.

 

The initiative represents an important advancement in the sector, uniting science, social sensitivity, and innovation in veterinary management, prioritizing animal care and offering new perspectives for thousands of dogs that currently face abandonment, hunger, and lack of assistance.

 "Alma Negra Viva 2026: Second Phase of the Exhibition Brings Together Art, Emotion, and Big Names in Brasília"

The second phase of the "Alma Negra Viva 2026" exhibition promises to reaffirm the strength of contemporary Brazilian art in Brasília. The event takes place on April 5th and 6th at the Arte em Pauta BSB Gallery, a cultural space recognized for valuing national artists and promoting encounters between different artistic languages.

Under the direction of owner Nancy Safatle, the gallery hosts the continuation of this important cultural project that celebrates identity, diversity, and artistic expression. The curatorship and organization are in charge of Paulo Melo, who brings together artists and works that dialogue with the aesthetic and symbolic power of Brazilian art.

One of the highlights of this stage is the special visit of visual artist Dilson Cavalcanti, who came to Brasília to celebrate the success of his "Brazilian Mona Lisas" series, already recognized by the public and critics. Based in São Paulo, Dilson began his artistic journey at the age of 12 and has always demonstrated an intuitive and passionate relationship with art. His work is marked by abstract art, exploring colors, lines, and movement as ways to express deep emotions.

An entrepreneur in the São Paulo capital, the artist found in painting a space for creative freedom. Initially using acrylic on canvas, he expanded his techniques over time, experimenting with new surfaces such as cardboard and paper, as well as exploring methods with a palette knife and painting on a washed surface. His artistic training also included studies and research alongside the painter and professor Rubens Pontes, deepening his visual language.

The result is a work of great aesthetic intensity: fluid compositions, with transparent colors and vibrant layers that create visual impact. His style has been compared to that of the American painter Jackson Pollock, one of the great names of Abstract Expressionism. Self-taught and creative, Dilson Cavalcanti paints with his soul, transforming emotion into movement and chromatic harmony.

Another important name present at the artistic gathering is the artist Mariah Campolina, recognized for her work in the cultural scene and for her generosity in welcoming artists from all over Brazil to the federal capital. In Brasília, Mariah has established herself as a first-class hostess, strengthening bridges between creators and promoting the appreciation of contemporary art.

Dilson Cavalcanti's trajectory also transcends borders: in addition to Brazil, his works are already present in collections and cultural spaces in cities such as Frankfurt, Alicante, and Orlando, reinforcing the international reach of his production.

The exhibition “Alma Negra Viva 2026” thus consolidates itself as a meeting of talents, ideas, and emotions, celebrating art as an instrument of identity, dialogue, and cultural transformation in the heart of the Brazilian capital.

"VIKX Brazil | Cosmetics & Fitness: The Brazilian Brand Representing the New Generation of Women in the Beauty and Fitness Market"

In recent years, Brazil has experienced a period of significant transformation in the cosmetics, wellness, and fitness sectors. Driven by innovation, young entrepreneurship, and the power of social media, the Brazilian market has revealed a new generation of brands and businesswomen who are repositioning the country on the global beauty and healthy lifestyle scene.

Brazil is already among the largest cosmetics and personal care markets in the world. However, what is currently noteworthy is not only the size of the market, but the capacity for innovation and the entry of new brands created by young female entrepreneurs. A high-impact example is the WePink brand, which quickly established itself in the Brazilian market and demonstrated how a national brand can achieve large scale, driven by digital strategy, a strong identity, and a direct connection with the consumer audience.

This movement has opened space for the emergence of new companies that see opportunities in specific niches, combining technology, cultural identity, and social purpose. One interesting aspect is the profile of this new generation of entrepreneurs: many of these brands are being created by very young women, between 18 and 26 years old. This is a connected, creative, and daring generation that deeply understands contemporary consumer behavior and uses social media as their main platform for launching and expanding their business.

Among these new names is the brand VIKX Fitness, created by the young entrepreneur Ana Vitória Costa. The company's proposal is to develop fitness and cosmetic products with Brazilian technology and identity, primarily targeting the international market. The brand's strategy is born with a global perspective, with products designed for export and international positioning, showing that new Brazilian companies are already emerging with a globalized mindset.

Another example of innovation is the work of businesswoman Laís Neves, who proposes a self-care line specifically for Black women. By focusing on representation and the specific needs of this audience, her initiative demonstrates how the Brazilian market is also advancing in diversity and the creation of more inclusive products.

This new scenario reveals an important shift in the profile of female entrepreneurship in Brazil. For many years, the global beauty market was primarily associated with major international celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber, who transformed their personal brands into cosmetics and lifestyle empires. Today, however, Brazil is beginning to build its own generation of influential businesswomen, capable of creating authentic, innovative, and competitive brands.

More than a market phenomenon, this movement represents a cultural shift. Young Brazilian female entrepreneurs are taking center stage, transforming ideas into multi-million dollar businesses and taking Brazil's name to new markets. With creativity, identity, and strategic vision, this new generation not only follows global trends—it is beginning to create them.

Thus, the country is witnessing the birth of a promising ecosystem of brands led by women, combining technology, purpose, and innovation. A scenario where young female entrepreneurship ceases to be an exception and becomes one of the main forces transforming the beauty, self-care, and fitness market in Brazil and the world.
