The brief
In essence, the interior design of this elegant apartment, located in a residential building in São Paulo, and created by architect Unique Vintage, rests on three pillars: natural materials, art, and sustainability. It is a sensory and scenographic project, inspired by a refined sense of contemporary living.

Thanks to its wood-paneled walls and large openings, which fill its entire social and private areas with intense light.

Procedures that I emphasized in this work. As well as opting for durable furniture and coverings, capable of requiring minimal maintenance and even lasting for decades.
