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.
