Art Above the Sea
Commanding extraordinary views of the Atlantic Ocean, this penthouse on Rio de Janeiro celebrates the interplay of architecture, art, and contemporary design. Expansive, light-filled interiors bring together works by Damien Hirst, Anish Kapoor, Jesús Rafael Soto, Beatriz Milhazes, and Adriana Varejão with an exquisitely curated selection of furnishings. In the dining room, the Guanabara table and Baxter’s Colette chairs create a striking composition beneath Ingo Maurer’s sculptural Luce Volante chandelier. Shades of blue, refined textures, and subtle nautical references establish an effortless dialogue with the surrounding landscape, while unexpected accents of red and orange lend character and vitality to the interiors. Balancing cosmopolitan sophistication with Rio’s unmistakably relaxed spirit, the residence embodies an understated elegance in which art becomes an integral part of everyday life and the ocean remains a constant presence throughout.
