Hi hello, look at this apartment of my dream! How awesome! How many square meters are there? It is 45 square meters. And then I'll light it up, not only does it light up, it's dimmable. One of the things I bring a lot here is the beauty of imperfection, so this brokenness here, for me, is what made the piece incredible. The wires are part of it, why hide it? And when I want to close the room, have privacy, I come with the Perfect curtains. Who said you can only use small things in small apartments? Because look
at the size of that sofa, it’s big. Look at the size of the back, which is large, now look at the size of the lamp, which in theory you could only think of placing in a giant house. It has a hot tub, I'm dying to have a hot tub in the house. Today we're going to visit Belchior's small apartment in Rio de Janeiro [Music] Look at this elevator, I love old elevators. And we're getting to know a lot of things here, right Alexandre? I'm going to press here. We're going to Belchior's apartment, which is a
small apartment, I've already visited him online, but he's wonderful, now for us to meet him in person. And we love small apartments. Even yours is one. Mine is very small, 40 square meters. So there are always lots of inspirations. I think this is the fan. Wait a minute, I'll talk to you. We arrived. Take advantage of the fact that you are here, that we are almost going to Belchior's house, so you can subscribe to the channel, also take the opportunity to activate the bell and you can become a member of the channel, so you can
follow the conversations we have after. Now let's go, I'm very curious, because when you arrive at these apartments, they are very beautiful when you see the apartments that are in old buildings. There's plenty here, are you in love with Rio's architecture? Yes, it is very beautiful to see this preserved. Very handsome. It's very beautiful. Now I'm going to find his door, I think it's here Let's go to Belchior's house now, it must be here because look: May everything that is good arrive and stay. So folks, it can only be here. May everything good come and
stay. There's no number on the front, but I'll take a chance. Belchior. Hi. Hello! The day has come! Were you repairing my door? I said: you don't need a number. Well, the number disappeared, I never added it again, I said: they will always know which door is my door. All good? Honey. Great pleasure. Now personally, what a fragrant person! Thanks. All good? Where do we leave our shoes? I'm nervous. Are you nervous? You can leave it right here, in this corner. Super nervous. AND? Nervousness is something that comes and goes. But this is the second
time I've come to your house. It's true, but now it's Lufe in person. So give me one more hug, person, to ease the nervousness. The other was during the pandemic and now it is in person. Let's tell people this here, we met during the pandemic, in the ones I did live. People look at the person's style! It's Rio Fashion Week at home! Dear, but before I look at the apartment, you saw that I'm already avoiding looking, to see firsthand, if you've changed everything. I changed a lot of things. The first video? Yes, from the first
video, I changed everything. So, in other words, we will see everything really new. Everything is different. Let's give people a whirl here. Look at this apartment of my dream! Look at the sofa! How awesome! Friend, where are we going to start? How many square meters are there? It is forty-five square meters. And I did the whole open concept of a Loft, I didn't want any kind of division. And where will we start? I think it's through the kitchen. Could it be? So, small apartments is one of the biggest hits on my channel. I'm currently an
interior designer, I studied architecture, but nowadays, I only work with interior design, decoration. And I'm creative director at an architecture and interiors office together with my partner Natália. How cool! In other words, you can take advantage while you are showing the apartment, to also give tips on how you did it, how you used it, because we keep looking and we want to learn from you. So it would be great if you could give this tip, including... Of course, I think so, this apartment is forty-five square meters, but for me it is gigantic, with meaning and
sensitivity. I think I knew how to create a very sensitive space here, which is where I direct all my creative work and there are a lot of creative solutions to make an entire life fit in here. How beautiful! It even says here what your Instagram is, how people can follow you, pursue you, send you showers of love. What is it? My Instagram is @cantosdebelchior and my office's is @presadonexo, repeat it for us, it's on the screen, but look, people Cantos de Belchior. Belchior sings and the professional is Presado Nexo Guys, I'm already telling you, you're
going to love his Instagram . It's wonderful. Let's start here with this entrance, which I saw you painted, the kitchen part, first this way of opening here, with the counter, but you already highlighted this part with color, with earthy paint, tell us about it. Yeah, so this one is that earthy dough from Suvinil. And then I wanted to make a kitchen entirely out of clay , it's really textured, it's not just paint, I wanted this clay texture, this very earthy thing, I have indigenous ancestry, so for me, anything that talks about Brazil, our country people,
our art, our identity, communicates to me, conquers me completely and I wanted the kitchen to be a place that spoke a lot about this. And it is the big point of color in the house, the whole house has neutral tones, on the walls and it is the highlight, it is full of color. Because it is already an arrival that really attracts a lot of attention, precisely because of the color and also because of the shelf that I see there, that we see. Do we go into it first or show the rest? Let's get into it.
Let's get into it. Because she looks beautiful. Guys, look here, a very good tip you can give is about the whole exposed piping part. Well, I love it, I think it's super functional, every time I want to create a socket it's very easy to create a new socket and I'm crazy about sockets, my builders laugh at me, saying that there are more sockets here than at the grocery store. socket, because I like to put sockets everywhere. But it's really good. And especially because of lighting, later I will explain to you what the stage lighting is
like in the apartment, so sockets are an asset for us to be able to place lamps and lighting in every place. This is true and look here guys, what Alexandre just showed, say Alexandre. This is so we never forget, The journey is inward. See? And for you who love traveling. And for you who are watching at home. There's a message. Gift from a brand. Very good. Well, visible lighting not only makes it easier when building, but also when you create new scenes, without having to destroy the wall. And here you painted it, you have several
things you can do, including highlighting it. Let's suppose you just wanted to paint it in some color, very eye-catching, it would look beautiful. So, as I wanted the focus on the clay, I ended up painting it this color. But I painted it white, so the wall matches the tone of the piping, but I didn't want to paint, for example, the box, I left it silver, because I think it's super pretty, like silver. But then let's go to the kitchen, the coolest thing about this apartment is this: its floor plan is a triangle seen from above,
the floor plan is triangular. So there are two rooms that appear in this triangle, the kitchen and the bathroom. So the bathroom is triangular and the kitchen is also triangular. Which is not so easy when it comes to renovating and decorating, because you have those corners, like there. Well, exactly, it took me a while to figure out this kitchen, but I think I did it. You really got it. It's a little dark, because... You can turn on those lights there. I have a super beautiful light here, which is the one on the shelf. Look, this
one is beautiful, it looks like the one I had at home. These spotlights illuminate the shelf, the shelf is made of rebar . I made it with Obra de Arte Estúdio. And this enlightenment is only for her. I understand, so you did, look at the beautiful lighting people, very small. And here I see that this shelf is not just functional, because it is practically more decorative than simply functional. I have my plates here, my glasses here, my cups. When you say your dishes, do you only have these dishes? I only have these dishes. Is this
also a secret? Do you know how to buy only what you need? Yes, without a doubt, I only have what I really need. And I have more plates than I need, because I have two sets, so I have a black one and a light one and I only needed this one. I miss bookshelf so much my friend! Remember when I had the other apartment that had a bookshelf? I remember. I'm really missing this shelf right now. It's because we can decorate, we can stay functional, it's everything at the same time, so I'm passionate. Look how
beautiful she is, here is the reference, look how beautiful she is. The filter is also here in the Jequitinhonha Valley . And there, light up that corner for us to show. We have this light here that is functional. Look guys! Look at the Eletrolux machine he has. I'm in love. She is almost a being that you live with, because she is very cute, like a little robot. She's a robot, I love her, so much. Have you seen Xande? I've never seen it before, how beautiful. Yes, and she can handle it, right? And does it cover
your whole life? Yes, it works, I can wash my towels there, wash all my clothes. And even? Look how funny people, look at the idea for small apartments and there I see that there is a dryer. It has a dryer. One you normally use in the bathroom, but here you are using it. I didn't want to put it in the bathroom, I wanted to put it there and for me it's super functional. I loved it so much And you have here is a corner and I loved it. Look at this bench, how awesome! But what
I really liked here, guys, I want to show you, is that he made curtains underneath, I think there are two cool meanings to doing this, one is that you don't need to put a closet and the other is that it has a really cool affective meaning. Lufe, I'll tell you, here, of everything I've done, this was one of the things I liked most. This is very recent and I fell in love with it, it feels like a Brazilian house, like a grandma's house. And here everything is like this, I'm going to open Open please, I
came here for this. Look, everything I have in the kitchen is here. And when you want to leave it open, everything is so obvious that you remember all the things you have. Exactly, exactly. Here are all the electronic parts too, here in the corner, see? And for me it's enough, I think it's super big. Belchior, you look so beautiful, I look like this, I can't take my attention away, look here, folks, at the references. He's shaking, are you shaking? I'm shaking here. Stop, look here he is like this, for a person. And that lamp there?
Ah, this lamp is beautiful! I'm in love. Ah, that's another super cool tip, let me link it here. What happens? I said I'm crazy about sockets, so notice that there are sockets here, sockets there, sockets there, sockets here, there are sockets there too, why? Because this bookcase is mobile, I can place these shelves however I want, I really like everything that is changeable, this is a tip I love for small apartments things that transition. We end up having different houses in one, so a lot of things here in my house, they change place, shape, and
style. And then these sockets are so that I can place lamps wherever you want. Wherever I want. And I wired them with a switch so I can extend all the lights. What a good idea. No need to put it up there. Did you understand? There's a switch there Oh how cool! It has a switch for this socket session and a switch for the socket session. In other words, as many lamps as I have here, it doesn't matter how you turn them off and on at once. How have I never thought of this before? And then
I think it’s super cool! See people? It's small ideas that make a difference. Now I'm seeing a lot of these indigenous references and I'm really happy to see you mention your ancestry here, but what caught my attention was this pendant, does it illuminate? It illuminates. I'll see from here. I'll delete this one. I'm going to see from outside And then I'm going to light it up, it not only lights up, it's dimmable, it's from Massame. Wow! Look at this light, it’s beautiful! Beautiful and illuminating, functional light. It's fully functional, this light here I find very
strong, I practically don't use it. I cook even with this light, I have enough light to cook here. If I need a lot of light, for a very specific reason, I turn on the bright one, but I cook with that light, it is completely functional and aesthetic. Which is another tip for small apartments, we need to know how to combine aesthetics and functionality very well. And another thing, since you're going to put on a light and you understand the story you want to tell, why not have an object of art illuminating it? Exactly, I think
it’s fundamental. This lamp, I'm in love with it. Wow, I think now everyone watching us has just fallen in love with her too. It's actually a bamboo and inside it has a LED profile. Look, really wonderful and more references here too. So this is from a friend of mine, who works with this Marajuara ceramics, Raro Cerâmica, he is a dear. In fact, this is something I really wanted to say, in this house the most special thing about it, Lufe, is that it is full of things from my friends, dear people, people who I am passionate
about, the story, the production and I think This is what marked the transition from the first apartment to this one now. Nice! I had a lot of cool things in the first apartment, but it was a little further away. From then on, I have been building such good relationships with the people who produce things, that, everything I have here to present, I like to talk about who it is, because I have a great affection for these people. Very good! This one is from a great friend of mine Manu Almeida Manu Almeida? Manu Almeida, she is
a textile artist, she makes incredible things and these contemporary sculptures, she made this one here, it's such affection. Very beautiful. Even the texture of the wall is another object of art here in your home. Can you believe everyone asks me how I made this wall? What is the texture that I put on this wall and it's not a texture that I put on, I took off, I didn't do anything, I just took it off. And it's really cool, because I really receive a lot of messages in direct, asking what the texture of my wall is.
and it's none, it's an original texture, just as the ceiling was original, I also removed the plaster, the wall is just peeling, peeling, peeling. What was left painted. And what remained he painted, exactly. Very good. And this sculpture here, you want to have a sideboard, but it is a phenomenal piece of art because here the part that, look at this part people, it is painted but it is its own, a flaw. Lufe, this sideboard is also very special, this sideboard and this bench are from Marcos Husky, a dear friend too, the Brazilian designer and the
story of this sideboard is as follows: he made this sideboard, with a piece of wood and it cracked, in the When he was producing it, it literally cracked from the outside to the outside and then he said: I'm not going to discard the piece , I'm going to do something with it, with this crack and he went and made this piece of furniture, this sideboard. Look what a good idea to do with the mirror I broke. Yes. I did it, I'm going to do it. Redefining meaning has everything to do with the house, because one
of the things I deal with a lot here is the beauty of imperfection. So this broken thing here, for me, is what made the piece incredible. For sure. And then he makes several others, in various formats. And what is this nail doing here? Does it have a meaning? This nail has a meaning, it is an object poem, it has a phrase, a word written here. It's by an artist from Belo Horizonte, but I forgot her name, it was a gift. How funny! You see! It is an object poem. And those beautiful benches? Oh these benches
are wonderful! I'm crazy about small banks, apparently, so are you. Wow, crazy. I have many, this one belongs to Pedro Leal, a huge friend of mine too, this one belongs to another dear friend, Felipe Fonseca. These candlesticks are also by Pedro Leal, the same designer as the bank. How cool! And so is the balance sheet. Whose balance sheet? From Pedro Leal too. Look how beautiful it is, Pedro notices me. It's wonderful! Look at that swing, I loved having my swing at home. I've never seen the head without the neck, it's the first time. I had
never seen, in any house, how beautiful it was! It's beautiful, I like it, I like it because of the height difference. Yes, it was super beautiful. I passed by here and didn't show it, this one in the vase, which you can also see is the search for the earthy, there's a little person sitting there, the cutest thing. I really like animated objects, I love animated things and dolls, I really like that. Are you still working from home too? Or now just in the office? Yes, this is my showroom, this is the place where I serve
everyone. But do you live here? Do you sleep here? I live here and serve all my clients here. Because I remember that, that you always worked here. Look how beautiful his benches are. Also by Felipe Madeira. The artist's name is Felipe Madeira and he works with wood? AND. I can't take it! It's impressive and it's real, it's not a poetic name. Crazy and then I wanted to put one black and two light ones here, so I could also make a game. And Alexandre caught my attention here now, one thing. What was it Xande? I thought
the way he arranged the wires on the ceiling was beautiful and I don't know if the choice of color has to do with his indigenous and annatto ancestry. I found the most beautiful thing here. I could say it has. But I just noticed that this is it. There's a lot, but there isn't. It really doesn't. And look how beautiful it turned out. Wow this is incredible! It's a lot of work, but I'm very satisfied with this, with this lighting and with this design, again, the wires being part of, why hide it? Why can't we think
of a prettier way to put it? A more innovative way. Why do we have to hide things? But then, in this case, was it you who made it or is it a lamp from someone who is already like that? No, no, I did it, here is a normal electrified ceiling rail, the one that we put against the ceiling, so I bought the pendants, installed it pendant and the wire that comes out of a central canopy in the apartment, I made the distribution like this, to be like this. Wow! You mean it looks like a signed
lamp? Great! Yes, it was signed by you. There's your product. And do you see the ceiling here? He told us that the ceiling was completely peeling and wonderful. And then we arrive here on this sofa, I'm in love with it! He's a Percival Lafer. Well, a Percival Lafer, I bought it from a family, from a person who was very special to my life, for a large part of my life and when I bought it I didn't know the Percival design, that's really crazy, I didn't do it the slightest idea. You liked him because you liked
him. Yes, I bought it, I thought the sofa had power. And then after I bought it, I discovered that it could be and then I started looking for information and brought Paul, from Nhawpa, here. Oh Paul, did he come here? He came and restored all the wood on the sofa. Nice. And he certified me, he certified that it was an original sofa, because he does this recognition. He does. And he did all the wood restoration, it was completely different. Guys, I'm also going to leave Paul's Instagram here for you to follow, because Paul also restored
Alexandre's armchair, he restores everyone's, he was born into this world of restoration and so he's a wonderful person! It's beautiful here, what is this a fixed bench? Of tiles you made here? It's just not fixed, but it's a tile countertop. Even better. Yes, I can move it wherever I want and we did it on site, we bought plywood siding , large sheet metal, cut it and made this bench right here on site. That's cool friend, because in fact, you can carry this here wherever you want. He's always a bank you'll have. I don't know how
you're going to get down with that, but it's going to have to be lifted. He is broken, it is the secret he has here is one and here is another. So no, he's not that tall after all. How broken he is. And this sculpture here, whose is it? Ah, this sculpture is by an artist that I like, who is a red framer, it's Larissa Noé, an artist from Minas Gerais, it's a sculpture that proposes an abstract thought of the body, which is in various positions including, she sits , she stays in this position, she stays
on her knees like this, I'm in love with this one. Larissa Noé? Larissa Noé. How cool! And this corner is beautiful, you also really like the lamps. I'm crazy about lamps. Do you stick to this buriti network here? I stay, I stay, I'm in love. Very indigenous, wonderful! I'm passionate about my network, it's such a comforting corner for me. Alexandre, do you remember I told you that this guy was really cool? Yes, even cooler than you said. Thanks! Is the nervousness gone? Yes, I'm calmer now, getting used to it. How beautiful this piece is. This
piece is also from some dear friends who studied with me at college, it's Simple or Simply, I don't know how to pronounce it, Simple or simply with a y at the end . It's incredible, incredible, their product is fantastic like that. Very beautiful indeed, and this collection of vases you have here? Well, there are the vases, this lamp is by Pedro Leal and the candlesticks are also by Pedro Leal. The colors are beautiful, it's very pretty here. It's really cool, look at that mirror! This mirror is beautiful too, super cracked here, it's also from Marcos
Husky, the same as the sideboard . A very beautiful feature. And look here, people who are relaxing here, don't care about life. I love it, I love it, the bear too So I'm loving it. I loved this piece. This piece is also from Massame, the same company that sells the... the lamp? The indigenous lamp is a magazine rack. Are you from here in Rio? It's from here in Rio. Guys, look at this, Xande, how beautiful! It's a beautiful magazine rack, but I even regret putting the magazine in, because I put the magazine I'm reading that
month, after I put the magazine I'm reading away, I take it out, understand? I don't leave her alone. I think it's a really beautiful sculpture . It's a bag. AND! And this collection you made here of these paintings, which I thought was so beautiful, because it has dots of red in each piece and then there's this red all over there. Now I'm going to get nervous. Why did you forget the name? It's mine. Oh how beautiful! Then cry. I made this Lufe art collection. This is very chic, because you can see that there are red
dots on each branch and then there is this piece with a white dot. I thought it was elegant! This collection talks about us needing to get closer to things in order to understand what they really are. Because as the daylight comes on, the shadows create a three-dimensional effect on the pieces and, for example, when I turn on this light, I don't know if it will give this effect now, but I'll try, when I turn on the spot light, it does the shadow! She makes the shadows and at night, for example, these shadows blend into the
three-dimensional piece and you can't clearly distinguish what is one thing and what is another, the red is lost, so she talks about that, that the richness For us to actually see things, we need to want to pause, observe and understand what that actually is. Wow! It really is exciting, it has several interpretations for you to look at. Look, did you say he was forty? Forty-five. Forty-five square meters, does that mean that from here to there what I'm seeing is a mirror, but does it end there? Yeah, it ends there. So we'll get there and you'll
see and you divided it here with a curtain, but not here. Not this part, but here, what happens, come here so we can understand this architecture. This here, originally, had a wall here, that came to here, a corridor that sloped and led to the bathroom. I demolished this entire wall, I demolished the side there too, this column was a surprise, we never imagined there would be a column this size, so I imagined that I would have a lot more free space, but I discovered this column like this and there is the room. Then everything becomes
dark for you. Exactly and then when I want to close the room and have privacy I come with the curtains Perfect. Both there and here I close everything and it's a completely closed room. Perfect. And then I get my privacy. So that's why I have a curtain on that side and there's a curtain on this side. And the apartment is much lighter, it doesn't have those hard doors . It looks really cool. Well, when I showed you the curtain, I remembered that I didn't mention this lamp that warmed your heart. This lamp folks, look at
this lamp, here's the thing: I bought it for fifty reais. Wait a minute, I'll faint quickly and I'll be right back. I bought it for fifty reais, I bought it at an antiques fair, like a shopping mall, in Juiz de Fora, in Minas Gerais. Look, I was born there! And this lamp is signed, can you believe it? Just like I didn't know about the sofa, I didn't know about the lamp either, Antônio Pavia, an Italian designer from the seventies, I think. People, that is, you attract. And then I fell in love, I brought her. This
bench is wonderful, I hadn't mentioned it before and I'm curious about this piece that's linked here. This piece is a Marcos Husk lamp, which is another important thing, I do it, all my projects, all the environments I think about in the office, in consultancies, I really like working with the five senses. So for me, one of the The most important senses are the sense of touch, touch for me, everything here has texture, the wall, the ceiling This wonderful carpet. Everything has texture and this piece is a piece that we touch and it lights up But
it is also temperamental. It wasn't, let me see if she... oh it was, it was. And then it also has a dimerization, when we hold it, It dims, see? How awesome! And is it made for the floor or did you decide to put it on the floor? I decided to put it on the floor, because I think it's beautiful here. It serves as a table, but it is also a sconce, it sits on the wall. And I like to put it on the floor, because with all the affection I also use my foot to move
it . I like that. I love the idea of coming here and putting my foot on it and lighting it up. And light it up, I loved it. I'm in love with her too. Very beautiful and now we move to an environment that I remember was your office here Exactly. And I just saw there's cake. There's, there's cake Oh oh oh oh oh oh. There's cake, there's a date candy that a friend made especially. Just wait, Alexandre will faint and come back. So good, I guarantee, a friend made it especially for you. So I want
to call you now so you can watch the program later, which I'm going to record with them, for our members' playlist, so become a member of the channel, because afterwards we're always talking, having coffee, chatting, this already generates another video too, then you'll see this wonderful date thing that we're going to eat, which Denise made. Is this chair from Amaze Design? That. I love this one, beautiful! Lu, she's so cute! This chair from Amaze, the one from Estúdio Glória and this one is a piece by a loved one too, Vini, from Estúdio Simbiose. How beautiful!
It's the Pipa chair. This is made with that kite stick, you know? Look, there are several kite sticks. It's a chair he has, created with childhood memories of him, in short it's a sculpture. It's a sculpture, is he from Rio? He's from here in Rio. Look how much I need to know the people here in Rio, I thought she was beautiful! It's funny that I met him at a fair in São Paulo. You see how cool it is. So you have a collection of mini chairs and you play the piano? I play the piano, I've
played more, but I still remember something. There's a collection of chairs that I'm passionate about, lots of art. And how good they turned out, these bookshelves were good, these white shelves here, because they made a big statement, look how cool, they placed the chairs, which are actually beautiful, here and in the passage portico and there was also this sculpture here as a divider . I understand this is the part you chose to be white. Yes, this is the part I chose to be white, of course with touches of color that speak of the apartment, I
have these works here that are by an artist that I am in love with, which is Larissa Noé, she is an artist from Minas Gerais and these red works make the link with the rest of the house, they have all the importance beyond the work itself and admiration, they make the color link. Including some of the chairs. It even communicates with some of the chairs too, these works set the tone for the rest, so I said: I'm going to choose them to communicate the rest of the house. So this part is a more neutral part,
because the kitchen part already carries all its density. And I think it's really cool, because when you make rooms in other colors, you even increase the size of the apartment, it gives it a bigger feeling and guys, here you think it's a bookcase, but it's not, it's an instant of books, understand? It is very good! Look how beautiful this lamp is, I loved it. This lamp is amazing too. And go up there. And this part here, this divider? What is it made of? This divider, it's a cement block, it's from Solarium, it's actually a cobogó,
which I used to delimit the space, but I'm a bit crazy, so I use it as a cobocó to divide, but I use it as a ladder . So when I want to get a book up there, I climb up there and get the book up there. But can it? Can she handle it? How cool. He's held on, he's held on so far. It will continue to hold on. Look how beautiful the table decoration is. Did you see this decoration here? Oh that's funny, thank you, I hadn't seen it. This is not scenic for the
video, this is my book that always stays on my desk. If you look at my Stories, it's always on the table. I love the fact that it's pink and then it's white with pink so I think it's the perfect decoration for a white table, because it's white on white, it doesn't draw as much attention, but the pink does. It's charming. Then I always put this book to decorate things. And we are always close to each other, I loved it! Well, then we entered, we came from this earthy part, we arrived here at this white part
and here is a part that you chose more gray with black. Yes, this is the most closed part, even a remnant... How beautiful here! Our! Wait here, do you know that my sister also paints with dirt? Look how interesting this is! These paintings are by an artist called Camille Soares. She's a great friend of mine too, here in Rio. That's cool too, a lot of people from Rio working here with us. And she made this collection exclusively for the apartment and it is with soil from various places she lived, there is soil from Bahia, soil
from Minas Gerais. It's very cool. Very cool. Is this still that sofa you had that turns into a bed? It still is, I still use the couch. Because to this day I remember that sofa, because it caught my attention and I always talk to Alexandre about it, because it's a real bed, are you going to open it for us to see? Is it a lot of work? It's his bed, people, this one is the sofa bed, but it doesn't look like a sofa bed and it's almost a king sofa bed, because it's huge. Yeah, he's
a little bigger than Queen, I think, I'm not really sure. But what I like about this sofa is that as it really is my bed, it's not just for sleeping on once in a while, so I sleep here every day, I didn't want a sofa bed that we could sit in the same place as me I sleep. Yes. Right? Then it opens with the mattress inside. Here's a place for pillows. Look at this. It is good. Here's a place for the sheet and blanket and here's the mattress. It really is a bed. Incredible! And that's
it. And I sleep here. It's a bit messy. Normal! And I'm in love with him and so I have this chair here, which is also by Felipe Fonseca, The Pente Chair. And she dismounts, so I go to lie down, I open this chair all the way, Yes, close it. And then I close it, put it there, it was supposed to be simpler. But we're recording, then this happens, then he does this which I think is great. There you go. And then that's it, I put it here and then I open the bed normally. He finished.
And then I have a living room, because I don't really like the idea of the sofa pointing into space, so I sit here, a friend sits in the armchair, we can create different living spaces. For sure. This is one more thing that talks about this space, which is changeable. It's an armchair there that does fit, all it takes is for it to fold, all it takes is for it to come out. And then we get it... It's a room with an armchair, which will become a bedroom. With a lamp, because this lamp here is from...
Look, I hadn't seen it. By Gabriel Freitas. In fact, you used your closet here as a large mirror, so this closet expands the space a lot. Fully. And a tip that I'm going to give you for small apartments too and that Belchior will be here saying is the following: who said you can only use small things in small apartments? Because look at the size of that sofa, which is big, look at the size of the back, which is big, now look at the size of the lamp, which in theory you could think, of the chandelier,
you could only place in a giant house, on top of a table , which we see a lot on tables, but you have a giant one, what do you have to tell us about it? I think what I have to say is that I really like boldness and I really like finding a way to make things talk, The objects dialogue with each other and the question is whether we know how to make these things actually dialogue in a harmonious way, regardless of size, I'm in love with this lamp and I think it brings a very
strong touch of surprise to this house . No one really imagines there will be a lamp this size in such a small apartment. Giant, that's what, for me, it gives a feeling of spaciousness. Exactly, when we take these things away the apartment shrinks, funny. Yeah, got it? So that's a tip, don't just put lots of small things in a small apartment. Sometimes you put something really big, it's cool. But I have some things to read here for you, can I? I mean, read to us Belchior. Feeling horny for the essence, because the body rots. I
wanted to write this on the mirror, because it's a daily reminder for us. with things that I think are important for us to keep in mind. And Souls do not recognize each other by appearance, souls recognize each other by energy. OK? So that's it. Now tell me something very important, you are a person very connected with home, not just personally, because that is your essence, but also as a profession and many people are setting up their home, which do you think helps to awaken the essence inside a house? I think the most incredible thing we
have to say about this is the relationship with authenticity, I think it all starts with the courage to be authentic. Thinking about how that house connects with you in your way, in your feelings, how that house nourishes you to make you develop the behaviors you want, the routine you want, the habits you want, it's very focused on yes. So I think that, for me, is the beginning of a symbiotic relationship between resident and housing. Very beautiful! Well, coming here now, where we are seeing this division, I see that you continued with a shelf here and
it is a shelf practically full of magazines, books, professional inspirations, tell me, this corner like this, how did you think of it? This song for me is my study reference song, you know? And I placed this Felipe Madeira bench, to be the space where I quickly have an idea, pick up a book, I can sit here, to see a reference for a work I'm developing, something like that and then I finish it, I put it here back and I'm going to do other things, so I wanted a functional corner like that, that was a library
that I could consult in a practical way and of course, aesthetically as well. Aesthetics because guys, if you want help thinking about organizing your bookshelf, you can call Belchior, because it’s impeccable! I provide consultancy on this, just on organization. Do you provide this consultancy? I provide consultancy, I provide consultancy for anything that is very simple in a house, that the person needs help with, positioning pictures, books, rearranging furniture, all of this I provide exclusive consultancy that can be requested on my profile from Instagram, see? It's for now and then just to focus on that, solving
that person's problem, it's a way of democratizing, of making the service more accessible , I share it with a designer. And finally, helping people achieve better results, with more stylish, bolder homes. And that it is possible, so please guys, you already know how to talk to him. That one you put on the wall. Yeah, that one with Marcos Husky that I put on the wall. There are many lamps. Ah, first, sorry, there's another thing I also like to talk about: the issue is always with lamps, there are many around the house in many places, here
I have two more, here a third, here a fourth and then something What I do, which is a really cool tip, is that when I want to use a lamp on a shelf and I don't have a socket nearby, I end up changing the lamp's wire. and making him a sculpture on his own shelf. Instead of using normal wire, use this option. Exactly, exactly, we can make these light arrangements, there's one here too. Yeah, great tip. And at night it looks incredible, because this shelf, in addition to being decorated, is lit up. Did you also
put a switch to turn everything on at once? Or here one by one? I didn't put a switch, here I'm turning them on one by one. And look how cool people, the bathroom was also delimited space, this inside a small apartment, it's very cool, because just by doing this it seems like you create a different space, it stops being a door, it becomes another environment , and that? Exactly, I really like that in a small apartment we need to be able to come up with ideas that increase the size, so everything we do vertically increases
the feeling of the ceiling, so it makes the house more elongated, that's why I wanted to limit this door to the ceiling , specifically also because this cobogó is very tall, so when the door was at that height, it gave a very different height break, very strange and when we placed it up to the finished ceiling, it expanded the sensation more. Shall we see inside the bathroom? Let's go, but first This photo, is it a print? It's a beautiful painting! From Mônica Barbosa, if I'm not mistaken, but what I liked most was putting this painting
on the door. For me, this was a rebellion, something incredible, I was looking for a wall to put the painting on, I couldn't find it, I said: wait a minute and I put the painting on the bathroom door. I said: that's it guys! Shall we see the bathroom? Please! Bathroom is a surprise. AND? It remains triangular. So it is. My dream is there! How wonderful, I want it! It has a hot tub! I'm dying to have a hot tub at home! How beautiful! Another work here, by that artist up front. It's by Manu Almeida. Wonderful
baskets! It's my laundry basket. Wonderful, that's it! Super functional and beautiful. Look here, several sculptures and a hot tub! Wonderful! How delightful! And you knew how to make good use of the triangular issue. Because it's not easy. It's not easy at all. I put this entire box. And is it curved here? Yeah, there's still that one. Is it still a curved triangle? And when you take a shower, you take the lid off and take a shower, right? That's it, just remove the lid. Because it's on top. That is, there is the shower, then there is
the shower part. You have another one there too. There's another one, no, I don't take a shower in here. Ah I understand because I saw the shower there. It's a single door that closes the hot tub when I want to use the hot tub and when I don't. You use it here. I use it here to take a shower in my daily life. It was incredible! Did you use small lights? So yeah what did I do here? I have a small light, a micro spot that when I take a shower in the hot tub, that
micro spot lights up the hot tub, when I take a shower in the shower, that micro spot lights up me in the shower. It is a light that passes through and then creates a beautiful effect. How elegant, how beautiful! And here is also the issue of wood, black, everything very much together here, very cool. Now I want you to read it here for me. What is written? Precarious, provisional, perishable, fallible, transitory, transitive, ephemeral, fleeting and impure, imperfect, impermanent, uncertain, incomplete, inconstant, unstable, variable, defective, here is a living one. It's a lyric from Lenin. Here's a
living one, for sure. It's a lyric from Lenine and I like when I'm here in the mirror, remembering all these adjectives that speak again about the beauty of imperfection, which I think is a theme in my house. See, you have a lot of soul in this whole story. And here folks, the ceiling and walls were also painted the same color, which also makes the environment grow. And here behind the door there is another work. Look at the construction site door. Very good! Port of works is great! Very cool! There's one thing I like to talk
about, which is home for me, it's a journey, you know? When we enter, at the entrance door we will arrive at the end, in the last room, it is still the same house, so I like to bring the same family, the same atmosphere, the same soul of the elements throughout the entire apartment, so here When we enter, at the entrance there is a sculpture of Manu, but here in the bathroom there is another. They communicate. I communicate the spaces. There are clay vases by the door, here at the end there is also another one. And
then I think this is a very good thing for us to build this route. And I was like, I'm really impressed with how you managed to bring solutions to a triangular space, which is not easy and you expanded this small apartment a lot through architecture, design, decoration solutions, it really turned out incredible. In other words, look at this apartment, how much bigger it seems than it is and how much soul there is inside this apartment, we see, look there the red thread runs through. Yes, go through. It's the journey, today we are seeing here about
an apartment that has its own journey, very cool, linked to Belchior's roots , to his friends, to the designers, to the new discoveries, to the changes that we always have, Belchior, when we changes, does the house change? When we change, the house changes without a shadow of a doubt. How have you changed since we came online to now? What do you think is displayed in your home? Wow, a lot! But I think it's the same thing I said, which was the tip I gave us to build a house with more soul, I think that's it,
I think that from then to now, I had the courage to internalize myself , to know myself more, to understand myself more from the inside, to understand who I am, beyond the noise, beyond the trends, beyond the things that other people say and other ideas, I managed to communicate a lot with my interior and then this maturity of connection with the interior, I think that she translated into this house. What it is like today in this aesthetic, in these objects and in the rich and pleasant relationship of the people I met and who brought their
productions here. Look what a beautiful thing people! It is nothing more than this. The journey is always inward. Belchior, thank you very much for welcoming us all here in your home, inspiring us, please give me Instagram again for everyone to follow, send love, ask for lots of tips here and even hire you to ask for consultancy because I really wanted to.
