Set Decorators
Expert set decorators bringing Brazilian interiors to life—from colonial Baroque grandeur to modernist Niemeyer elegance.
A set decorator selects and arranges the furnishings, artwork, drapery, and decorative details that bring a production designer's vision to life on screen. In Brazil, this means drawing on a design tradition that fuses Portuguese colonial heritage, indigenous craft, and bold modernism—from the gilded Baroque churches of Salvador to the iconic mid-century furniture of designers like Sergio Rodrigues and the vibrant favela interiors of Rio.
We connect you with Brazilian set decorators who know where to source locally—from antique dealers in São Paulo's Jardins district and Rio's Rua do Lavradio to prop houses serving Estúdios Globo and Quanta. Our network spans all major production hubs, with professionals experienced in dressing everything from colonial haciendas to sleek Copacabana penthouses.
