At CAPUT, we’re thrilled to share news that makes us truly proud: our CEO, Federico Boga, has been elected President of the Cámara de Diseño de Uruguay (CDU).
The CDU is a non-profit civil association that connects Uruguay’s design ecosystem and works to position design as a driver of economic, social, cultural, and environmental value.
A role that strengthens CAPUT (and Uruguayan design)
For CAPUT, this new role is a clear sign of where we’re headed: continuing to grow while staying focused on what matters most—design that creates real impact, with strategic vision and a strong commitment to our local creative community.
Among its objectives, the CDU works to represent and protect the interests of its members, engage with institutions and public bodies, and promote the growth and international development of Uruguayan design.
This is also an honorary position, with a two-year term, following the organization’s statutes.
A personal note
“On a personal level, it’s a tremendous honor to take on this responsibility. It’s a real opportunity to stand up for our members’ interests, help the CDU grow, improve benefits for affiliates, and push for more—and better—opportunities for the design sector in Uruguay. We want more community, more visibility, better tools, and more value for everyone who lives from design.”.
Kicking off the agenda: Punta Design Street in Punta del Este
As a first official activity in this role, Federico took part in the runway show of the second edition of PUNTA DESIGN STREET in Punta del Este—an urban event bringing together design, fashion, art, and gastronomy, with an open-air runway and participation from national and international brands.
