Rio, Remembered

A Brazilian jewelry designer who grew up spending summers at her grandmother’s home in Rio, remembers doors left open to the garden, afternoon light filtering through palms, cool stone beneath bare feet, and rooms filled with art, flowers, and beautifully imperfect things collected over a lifetime. Now living between São Paulo, New York, and Miami, she wants a tropical modern villa in Miami Beach that captures those memories without recreating them—a home filled with Brazilian modernism, sensual materials, sculptural forms, and lush greenery, where precious objects coexist with pieces that feel inherited. She designs jewelry at a sunlit table overlooking the garden, entertains barefoot around the pool, keeps fresh orchids throughout the house, and wants the villa to feel glamorous without ever feeling precious: part Rio nostalgia, part contemporary Miami, and entirely her own.
