In the heart of New York City, the home of art advisor and interior designer Maria Brito reflects her joyful personality and her love for eclecticism. KARINE MONIE talks with Brito about her success, professional path, sources of inspiration and lifestyle

LIVING WITH ART

Maria Brito’s manifesto, which she shares with her team, clearly expresses her vision: “We believe in unique aesthetics, engaging ideas, special environments and moments attached to meaningful things. We create worlds and havens with and within the context of contemporary art. We believe in the transcendent power of unique objects and the cherished memories and long-term appeal these pieces can hold.”

Also an art collector herself, Maria has lived in Chelsea, a neighbourhood with many galleries, for almost 10 years.

It was here she designed her own 167-square-metre apartment.

“We found this place when I was pregnant with my first child”, remembers Maria. “My husband and I owned another home in the city and we wanted to move to a bigger place.”

Maria’s current apartment comprises three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The hardwood floors bring warmth to the space while some rooms were decorated with colourful wallpapers, creating a unique atmosphere.

In the kitchen—adorned with Poggenpohl cabinets and a Marilyn Minter photograph—and the bathrooms, Maria used quartz and marble for their durability.
