That's how Bergamin and her husband, architect Murilo Lomas, ended up renovating their Paris apartment for the second time in less than five years. The couple, who also have homes in São Paulo, New York and Trancoso, spent six months turning over everything top to bottom of their residence, located on a quiet street.

It was an elegant and welcoming scheme that, while hardly minimalist, was less extravagant than Bergamin’s typically eclectic rooms, which tend to feature bold combinations of color, pattern and texture.

At one end of the room, Bergamin paired a newly acquired Biedermeier bench and a 1940s neoclassical table with a group of Louis-style chairs upholstered in a fuchsia zebra fabric.
