The vibrantly playful home of designer Brunno Jahara

Nest of Pearls - Home of designer Brunno Jahara

What a bombastic burst of colour! This exuberant Rio home belongs to Brazilian product designer Brunno Jahara. Occupying the second floor of a 1910 townhouse verandah, the independent dwelling boasts 200 square metres of delectable interior, and is adorned with lavishly high ceilings. Unsurprisingly, it is home to a variety of Jahara's own work, ranging from furniture, lamps, and other various design objects, all signed by the designer himself. In addition, this vividly lively abode also houses works by other designers, such as Xavier Pauchard, Lina Bo Bardi, Piet Hein Eek, and Tobias Juretzek.

There is such a cool vibe in the balance between solid, vibrant colour meeting ruggedly, almost haphazardly finished walls. There seems to be an avoidance of the straight line, and an ingredient of the artisanal touch. There is something almost childlike in the interior, although it is evident that to balance such a rich pallet of both colour and texture requires sheer control and sophistication.

I love this space so much. I love that there is no fear of exploration and emancipation. Unique objects are ever so faultlessly placed alongside the perfect furniture piece, or centred in between brighly coloured doors. There is an effort to adhere to symmetry, but it is mischievously cheated, as the seat design on one chair is slightly different to that of its sister chair, or the burnt orange shutter which mirrors, yet contrasts, the violet shutter just one room away...
