MASTER OF
well-living
spaces
“My style is to have no style at all; and, without fear of getting it wrong, I take every risk so that each project tells its own unique story.”
Sig Bergamin is an undisputed reference in high-end architecture and interior design. For more than four decades, he has transformed spaces into rituals of exuberance, blending European erudition with a tropical accent, placing the classical alongside the contemporary, and elevating maximalism into a definitive expression of elegance. There is no “less is more” in Sig’s vocabulary. With him, more is more, and it is marvelous. You can recognize a Sig project from afar: color in conversation with texture, memory embracing the future. Layered with art, hue, and tactility, his interiors turn residences, hotels, and corporate spaces into singular sensory experiences. From São Paulo to New York and Paris, his signature has become synonymous with exclusivity, securing his place among the global icons of luxury.
Sig Bergamin through the eyes of masters from fashion, art, architecture, and those who shape history.
“When I began exhibiting my work in São Paulo during the 1980s, Sig Bergamin represented the avant-garde—the new force within Brazilian interior design. Personally, what has always drawn me to his projects is his audacity in using color and blending ethnicities and styles without hesitation.”
”Sig’s extravagant and exotic style fills any space in the world with personality!”
“It’s impossible not to feel happy in one of Sig’s spaces!”
”There is a true playfulness—a beautiful chaos of patterns, colors, silhouettes, and eras—in Sig Bergamin’s interiors, bringing authentic design to everything he touches”
“I’m not particularly fond of colorful homes and décor; I usually stick to my own palette—beige, black, brown, and gold. But when I see Sig’s work, I feel that no one is quite like him… a master of vibrant decoration, where color and many other elements coexist in perfect harmony.”
“There is a relaxed elegance in Sig Bergamin’s work; his artistic interiors are infused with such joy—each room is an exuberant panoply of wonderful colors, patterns, and textures. In his own homes, in particular, you’ll find striking artworks, armfuls of flowers, and stacks upon stacks of books. Honestly, what more could anyone want?”
“Once, while talking with Sig about preferences, he replied: ‘I like everything!’ What a bold statement, I thought! The truth is that from that moment on, I realized how universal and beautiful his work is, and his bravery proves real in every project he becomes involved in.“
“Only someone so deeply interested in the world as a whole could imagine the physical space that intimacy truly requires.”
“Sig’s sense of place is always precise. In a penthouse in Ipanema, the sensual diffused light he creates is perfect; in a mansion in São Paulo, you find the height of urban sophistication; in a sprawling country estate, there is the colonial charm of one’s dreams.Another rare aspect of Sig: his style, like the man himself, travels beautifully. Place this quintessential Brazilian in a Manhattan high-rise, a beach house in Southampton, a London flat, or a private hôtel particulier in Paris, and he simply knows what to do. He always considers the setting, yet fortunately adds the subtle warmth and abundance intrinsic to his native land.Even as the acclaimed connoisseur of art and antiques that he is, there is always something a little wild in his interiors, joyfully so. It is impossible to separate Sig’s style from his personality—both overflow with warmth, generosity, humor, and, above all, energy.”
