Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the surrounding neighborhood, blending the indoors with the lively urban setting. Brazilian design icons, such as Jorge Zalszupin’s tea cart and armchairs, were carefully brought into the mix, alongside the 1958 Ring Chair by Nanna Ditzel.

Art takes pride of place on the walls, with standout works by Hélio Oiticica and Beatriz Milhazes, two giants of Brazilian contemporary art with global resonance.
