Four new franchises were launched this year: two international, CASACOR Miami and CASACOR Paraguay, and two in Brazil, CASACOR Balneário Camboriú and CASACOR Franca. This expansion solidified the event’s global relevance, bringing the essence of the exhibition to different cultures and audiences.
In the United States, the event brought together Brazilian professionals and local talents, creating a fusion of styles and influences. Designer Suchi Reddy, for example, incorporated elements of Oscar Niemeyer and the Campana brothers’ design into her space, highlighting the elegance and identity of Brazilian furniture.
In Santa Catarina, CASACOR Balneário Camboriú was held at the Marina Beach Tower, the first building in southern Brazil with a marina and river access. This unique location provided a stunning backdrop for the projects, combining sophistication with a closer connection to nature.
In São Paulo, the 31st edition focused on the theme “Focus on the Essential” and featured 69 spaces designed by 103 professionals. The careful selection of materials was a highlight of the exhibition, achieving a record-breaking sustainability milestone: 98% of waste generated was recycled or repurposed, minimizing environmental impact.
Among the standout projects of this edition, the Deca Garden by Alex Hanazaki stood out for its beauty and integration with the landscape. In Rio de Janeiro, the exhibition took place in the striking Foster + Partners building, where Bel Lobo designed a cozy and inviting restaurant using simple wooden structures.
The loft by Studio Ro+Ca offered a privileged view of Guanabara Bay, emphasizing the dialogue between architecture and landscape. Meanwhile, in Brasília, Angela Castilho and Alex Rodrigues presented a minimalist concept, creating a space free of excess.
