A table can be designed with the same attention as a room. For architects Sig Bergamin and Murilo Lomas, a dinner at home in São Paulo offered a small-scale expression of that idea.

WAYFARER’s August 2026 account followed their return from the Mediterranean, with stops in Sardinia, Capri, Saint-Tropez, Cap Ferrat, Antibes and Cannes. The gathering extended the journey through conversation rather than trying to reproduce its scenery. Friends included Donata Meirelles and Nizan Guanaes, Renata and José Ermírio de Moraes, and Elisa Zarzur and Alexandre Negrão.

The composition had its own material vocabulary: flowers in pink, purple and magenta; candles; Serpentis Vanitas tableware from Pinto Paris and Augusta Alexander; Baccarat glasses; Lucas Rechia candlesticks; Tânia Bulhões cutlery; and Fineprints table linen. Golden ceiling lights connected the table to the artworks around it.

Those details mattered as a group, not as a catalogue of objects. Colour established the rhythm, light gave it depth, and the house remained a place for people rather than a finished display. The Mediterranean had supplied the itinerary. São Paulo supplied the company.
