Casa Sig Bergamin | Walnut Woodwork at Fazenda Boa Vista

WALNUT · FAZENDA BOA VISTA · SIG BERGAMIN

When woodworking serves the collector

Sig Bergamin and Murilo Lomas are two of Brazil's most renowned decorators. Their country house at Fazenda Boa Vista — published in Casa Vogue in 2023 — is exactly what one would expect from a project created for personal use: no restrictions, no client to approve, with decades of curated finds distilled into 600 m². Art, textiles, furniture from various origins and eras coexist with the naturalness of someone who personally curated each piece.

To hold all of this without competing, the joinery needed to disappear and be present at the same time. This is the role Marcato fulfilled: a planned kitchen in moss green Shaker style and built-in wardrobes in walnut veneer in the bedrooms. Joinery that doesn't vie for attention with the pieces — it organizes the space for them to exist.

Walnut as a background

The walnut veneer in the bedroom wardrobes works exactly like this: as a background. In a house where every wall is a gallery — photographs, paintings, travel objects — the joinery couldn't have too much of its own presence. Walnut has a warm temperature, a discreet grain, and a tone that harmonizes with the textiles, Persian rugs, and curated furniture that fill the rooms. It exists to receive — not to be noticed.

The Shaker kitchen in moss green

The kitchen makes a different decision: Shaker style in moss green, the same tone that appears on the walls of some rooms in the house. It's not a kitchen that hides — it's a kitchen that belongs to the project. The Shaker has a frame, it has presence, but it's a classic that doesn't compete with anything. In a Sig Bergamin house, this is the only possible choice: either the joinery is on par with the rest, or it's wrong.
