Previously known as the Red Bull Station, and now established as Central 1926, this institute for art and music in São Paulo’s city center showcases a wide variety of artistic expression. Initially built to house the Light and Power Company nearly a century ago, the establishment's renovation by Triptyque in 2013 preserved its essence and enhanced the beauty of the original construction.
However, a few years after its relaunch, the establishment was part of another acquisition and rebranding strategy which led to the Central 1926. Nevertheless, Tubo50 remained an integral part of this second project, making the perfect symbiosis with this industrial-looking space. Nowadays, Central 1926 remains dedicated to nurturing creativity and functioning as a focal point for artistic exploration within São Paulo's dynamic city center.
