Interior designer Camila Niskier, together with Ana Figueiredo, Nanda Negri and Livia Esteves, created a project with an integrated kitchen in exposed concrete.
It was a long road that led Camila Niskier to your new apartment. In total, exactly 18 changes. But, after living in many different homes – including in Mozambique and Bali – the interior designer decided the time had come to settle in Rio with her husband and her two children.
The move took place in 2017, but it is only now, in 2024, that Camila has begun the much desired renovation to leave the apartment 170 m2 just like you always imagined. To do this you called the architects Ana Figueiredo, Nanda Negri and Livia Esteves (of the studio Noah) and, together, they started the major works, knocking down all the walls and redesigning the entire setup.
The project followed a clean and tidy architecturewith one white base mixing with the exposed concrete and strokes of color on one wall or the other. The main idea was to transform the house into a large space to welcome family and friends that was functional for all residents. The children, already teenagers, wanted separate rooms and Camila, who loves to cook and entertain, wanted an open, lively kitchen.
And speaking of the kitchen, the dark covering chosen for the space is the result of a path undertaken by the designer on green building, when she fell in love with Moroccan technique called Tadelakt, based on lime, which provides a shiny and smooth finish. The suspended bicycle is a tribute to her husband’s favorite activity.
The master bedroom – the most difficult part according to Camila – has been created into a home office with a mix of colorful prints and a variety of furniture and accessories accumulated during travels: the two bedside tables and the bed come from Mozambique, the lamps from Bali and the painted above the bed is a table runner purchased from an artisan in Namibia.
The entire apartment is like this: a large miscellany of furniture and pieces collected over the years by the family: dining table, bar trolley, pouf, lamps, boxes, cachepots… Traditional Balinese bells decorate the entrance. Old cans of food were found in the kitchen at a flea market in Brooklyn (New York). And the blankets brought from Atacama now decorate the sofa along with cushions covered in Indonesian fabrics.
Among pieces handed down from generation to generation and objects collected over time around the world, there are also furniture designed for BahCamila’s brand, which she couldn’t resist and took home, like the coffees and tables, as well as the lamps and trays.
