Currently, Faye Toogood is the most talked-about designer in the British market and also has worldwide recognition. In 2025, she was recognized as Designer of the Year at Maison&Objet, in addition to having been awarded at important design awards such as the Dezeen Awards and the Elle Deco International Design Awards. A multidisciplinary artist, she has a background in art history and does not define herself solely as a designer. Founded in 2008 and based in London, the Studio Toogood brings together an eclectic mix of talents, unafraid to cross boundaries in interior architecture, design, art, and fashion.

SP-Arte 2025: check out the main design launches

(Ruy Teixeira/CASACOR)

For over 30 years, designers Luciana Martins and Gerson de Oliveira have created pieces that lie at the intersection of design and art. With minimalistic and concise lines, the consistent output of the duo at the studio ,ovo always surprises. An example of this is the Dança chair, launched at the latest edition of SP-Arte. The piece's main element is the backrest: an irregular hexagonal frame serves as a mold for the weaving of straw. The intersections and superpositions of this weaving create patterns that range from the densest areas in the center to the more open edges. The collection is made up of different shapes of backrests, reinforcing the main characteristic of the series: a dance of lines and planes that play with our gaze.

Cearense designer fascinated by the transformation of materials into objects, Erico Gondim is dedicated to finding innovative solutions. His skills are based on curiosity and creative experimentation, as seen in the project presented at CASACOR Ceará 2025. In partnership with the Companhia de Água e Esgoto do Ceará (Cagece), he created the RegeneraLab, a project that merges sanitation, design, and sustainability in an unprecedented proposal. This initiative transforms the company's operational waste into pieces of creative and ecological furniture, enhancing the dialogue between infrastructure and culture.

Specialists in color and design, the duo values creativity, plurality, and the emotional impact of projects, always connecting design and identity.
