Camila Navas is an artist and designer from Brooklyn, the owner of her own brand for making handmade candles and household items Nlumec. The products of her brand, which all the fashionable New York press writes about, surprise with their creative solutions and unusual approach. Camila herself has the same creative, unpredictable character, which is clearly reflected in her house.

As the hostess herself says, her love for design manifested itself in childhood. Her family constantly moved from city to city, so little Camila regularly had to re-settle and decorate a new home. The love of creativity was passed on to her from her parents – great connoisseurs of modern art.

Now Camila lives with her friend and business partner Alejandro Corps in a spacious Brooklyn loft with high ceilings and a view of the Empire State Building. They immediately decided to paint the walls white — an ideal background for furniture and art objects, of which there are many in the apartment. Which is worth only one dining table with a concrete countertop for six people, made by Alejandro himself. In addition, in the atmosphere of the house you can notice the iconic chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames and the work of a modern artistDaniel Arsham. It’s even amazing how she didn’t get lost in such an abundance of paintings. There are dozens of them in Camila’s house!

“Collecting is the first step in creating a cozy and eclectic space, collect what you love! I love being surrounded by interesting things that I can admire and draw inspiration from,” says Kamila. — I can’t stand these modern apartments in Miami without their face and character, and I am sure that the original architecture of the building should be preserved and used in your design: what you bring should complement what is already there. There are a lot of very old, beautiful houses in New York, and I love the features of this old New York style.”
