Last week, between March 19 and 21,
Expo Revestir took place in São Paulo, considered the largest
finishing and
coatings fair in Latin America. The brands in the sector are investing in
innovation with the aim of guaranteeing attractive products for a market that has remained buoyant over the last few years. There were over
300 exhibitors from the ceramics, sanitary ware, metals, ornamental rocks, mosaics, wood, laminates, cement, glass, machinery, accessories and other coverings segments. Among so many launches, we prepared a careful selection with the
crème de la crème of the new products that will soon be arriving in stores. The concern with
design is the common point among them. Check it out!
Deca Care, by Deca
Deca's new line of accessible products , Deca Care , combines aesthetics and functionality, with pieces that comply with the Brazilian Accessibility Standard. With a design developed by architects Mariana Quinelato and Flavia Ranieri, specialists in inclusive architecture, in partnership with Deca, the new product brings a new look to products that increase mobility and offer greater safety to the user. Versatile, the vertical grab bars – 70 cm and 40 cm – with hangers in their structure, and the horizontal ones – in the sizes 80 cm, 70 cm, 40 cm and 24 cm – also function as storage and shelves. They can be used in different decoration proposals, which go far beyond their use in bathrooms . In this way, they can transform environments such as living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms into increasingly welcoming and accessible spaces for people of different ages or needs in terms of mobility and uses. Dekton® Ukiyo, by Cosentino
Inspired by contemporary
Japanese design , Cosentino’s
Dekton® Ukiyo comes in ready-to-install fluted sheet structures — a first for the industry. Created in collaboration with interior designer
Claudia Afshar , it was specially designed for vertical cladding applications, from facades and fireplaces to custom furniture, and will be available in a matte finish and two fluted options. Ukiyo means "living in the moment" and the collection was designed to awaken the senses and evoke a sense of well-being. The product won
the Best in Show award, promoted by Expo Revestir, in the Best Ultra Compacted category. Italian Days, by Ceusa
Ceusa 's inspiration for the new collections came from the mix of
colors , prints, accessories and neutral tones to express style. With creativity as a guide, the brand proposes lines with bases and special pieces combined to create unique decorations, bringing the power of
styling as an ally when it comes to dressing the home. One of the highlights is the
Italian Days collection, created in partnership with
Traudi Guida , the creative mind behind the fashion label SOUQ — a brand known for straying from the obvious in the curation it offers of clothes, objects and decoration products sourced from around the world. It was on a trip to
Sicily that Traudi fell in love with the historic tiles, hand-painted in geometric patterns – a legacy of the Arab influence on the ceramics of the Italian island – and decided to translate them into a collection full of history, but with a contemporary feel. The collection consists of five decorated models and two neutral ones, which can be combined in infinite ways, creating patterns that are sometimes more striking, sometimes more discreet.
Hamburg, by Durafloor
This year,
Durafloor introduced the
Hamburgo laminate flooring from the Unique Line to its portfolio, inspired by natural oak. With more defined veins,
it is versatile and looks similar to warm-toned wood, and is an option for those looking for a cozy atmosphere in high-traffic spaces. It can cover up to 90 m² without the need for expansion joints or finishing on doors.
Made from HDF (High Density Fiberboard) from reforested wood, it features Protekto Plus technology, a feature that makes the flooring more protected from viruses and bacteria for a longer period. Tested and approved in the laboratory, it offers immediate effectiveness with 99% viral inactivation in the first minute. The flooring is protected against termites and easy to clean with a damp cloth. The line is part of Durafloor's Ultra Laminate portfolio, which guarantees greater water resistance , with up to 24 hours of protection and without the need for additional treatments or application of materials such as silicone. The protection is incorporated directly into the product's substrate, which provides greater peace of mind in the event of minor unforeseen events such as an open window on a rainy day, for example. Available in 8 x 291 x 1340 mm planks.
Tribus, from Duratex
Duratex has added five new patterns to its portfolio from the Duratex You line, which features exclusive digital printing technology, with MDF panels in unique prints full of meaning. The complete collection now has 22 personalized prints and was curated by architects for the development of three patterns. One of them is the
Tribus panel, developed by
Denise Zuba , an architect who heads one of the main architecture, interior design and interior design offices in Brasília. The pattern she developed is inspired by ancestral concepts and reflects characteristics such as naturalness and simplicity of shapes. Designed with tribal graphics that refer to elements such as water and earth, its beauty is enhanced by colors that are a modern trend, but also timeless.
Hana, by Portinari
Portinari presented the
Hana collection at Expo Revestir, the result of the brand's
collaboration with landscaper
Alex Hanazaki . This partnership began at
CASACOR in 2023. “Both Portinari and I have a quest to talk about connection with nature. This quest converged and transformed into the Hana collection, which expresses our poetry, where nature merges with human traits in the art of interweaving,” explains the professional. The products consist of
hollow architectural concrete elements and are available in four colors (OFW, GR, DGR and BW), in the 10 x 40 x 10 cm format, as well as two pieces, Hana DGR and Hana GR, in the 14.1 x 117 cm format. They cover both internal and external areas and allow for various layout possibilities.
Ohtake sinks, by Roca
Master
Ruy Ohtake 's partnership with
Roca was continued by the architect's son,
Rodrigo Ohtake , who designed two new
countertop sink models for the brand — one oval and the other round. Inspiration continues to come from nature to shape pieces with fluid and organic lines.
Ricardo took the contours of the calla lily flower, marked by simplicity, delicacy and perfection, as a reference, in addition to his father's architectural legacy. Available in Matte Black, Stone, Coffee, Beige, Matte White and Glossy White, the new sinks from the Ohtake collection represent the fusion of tradition and innovation . The pieces were presented as timeless works of art that transcend their practical everyday usefulness to become an expression of beauty and elegance in bathrooms and lavatories. The products won the Best in Show award in the best sink category.
Borders, by Portobello
Author of renowned projects all over the world, São Paulo native
Isay Weinfeld is one of the great contemporary architects who this year designed two lines of coverings for
Portobello . One of them is the modular cement line
Bordas . These are robust
cement slabs with irregular surfaces and contours that evoke the imperfection of artisanal, almost rustic work. In a palette of soft tones and multiple dimensions, the pieces can be combined into modular compositions with infinite variations for application on walls. The line is available in three formats: Square Kit, Reduced Square Kit and Individual Piece, in two color options: Cement Color A (Gray) and Cement Color B (Clay).
Nude, from Roca
Another new product launch from
Roca is the
Nu collection of single-lever taps and mixers, which has brought even more color to the brand's portfolio. Created by the award-winning Studio Inma Bermúdez, by Spanish designer
Inma Bermúdez and German architect
Moritz Krefter , Nu is a versatile line that offers architects and interior designers an option to complement their clients' personal style. With a playful yet striking look, the products offer endless possibilities thanks to their unconventional
colors in the world of bathroom fixtures. The collection is made up of six bright colors inspired by the
Mediterranean atmosphere: Mint Green, Cobalt Blue, Honey Yellow, Titanium Black, Glossy White and Chrome. With three
different actuators named Pin, Dome and Stripes and a body diameter of 35 millimeters — Roca's thinnest to date —, the collection features rounded shapes. In addition to the different colors and actuators, there is also the option of choosing between high or low spout, table or wall installation.
Vive, by Kohler
Kohler ’s
Vive sanitary ware collection features delicate lines with thin edges that mimic the fluidity and movement of water to create a sculptural aesthetic in the bathroom. Produced in Brazil for the local market, the new line features a two-piece toilet, a rectangular basin and an oval basin.
Filo, from Lepri
For this edition of Expo Revestir,
Lepri found inspiration in the delicacy of velvet to create the
Filo collection with clay, with a threaded effect (linear relief), following the trends of international catwalks. In the 11 x 11 cm and 7 x 7 cm formats, the new line allows the creation of exclusive textures when composed in different directions and layouts. It can be applied in small or large spaces. Available in several colors, it can be used on internal and external walls, as well as floors.
Fusion, by Roca Ceramics
Launched by
Roca Cerâmica , the
Fusion series recreates the texture of metal on the brand's super-sized 120 x 250 cm sheets. Like a graphite-toned steel sheet with slight oxidation marks, Mineral LAB technology provides a unique effect with the fusion of noble minerals applied millimeter by millimeter over the pattern. The pieces are ideal for walls, panels and floors, including wet indoor areas, as well as countertops and countertops.
