CASACOR Paraná 2026 opens to the public on May 10 with a new feature that enhances the visitor experience: the culinary operation becomes one of the exhibition's central pillars. Led by Pantucci — which celebrates 30 years in operation and was named “Best Bakery” by the 2024 Bom Gourmet Award —, the proposal is spread across four projects, connecting gastronomy, socializing, and lingering.

At the Café and Bistrot, by Ary Polis Jacobs and Renan Mutao, the public will find a dinner menu with pastas and sauces, broths, soups, charcuterie boards, as well as traditional snacks and coffees. The Piano Bar, designed by Flávia Glanert, marks an unprecedented differentiator for Pantucci: an operation of classic cocktails that does not exist at the brand's other locations, expanding the culinary experience within the exhibition.
The operation also encompasses the GT Meeting Lounge, by Elaine Zanon and Claudia Machado, and the CASACOR Arena, designed by Fernanda Gonçalves, spaces intended for private events.

The proposal reinforces the integration between architecture, design, and experiences — a movement that, according to director Marina Nessi, accompanies the evolution of the exhibition. “At CASACOR Paraná, the visit goes beyond decor. We want the public to enjoy a complete experience, which also involves gastronomy and moments of conviviality. Pantucci arrives to further enhance this dimension of the exhibition, bringing a solid operation, recognized for its quality and the relationship it has built with the Curitiba public over three decades,” she says.
For Rafael Albano Battisti, the brand's owner, the partnership ushers in a new cycle in the event's culinary operation. “We recognize the importance of the CASACOR Paraná audience, who also visit our stores. We want to start a new cycle in the exhibition's culinary operation, with attentive service and gastronomy worthy of the experience proposed by the event,” he says. During the exhibition period, Pantucci will also promote activations such as coffee tastings, the presentation of new products, and the early reveal of projects planned for this year.
