LUXURIOUS LIVING AT THE RUBY ROYAL PENTHOUSE
A PROJECT BY JOÃO CAMPINAS
An Uncluttered Entrance: The Prelude to Grandeur
The journey through the Ruby Royal Penthouse begins with an entrance that embraces simplicity without sacrificing elegance. Marble flooring and wooden paneling set the stage, creating a serene yet sophisticated atmosphere. The Spear wall lamps by LUXXU, with their combination of Ibiza marble and brass, provide a stunning visual contrast that enhances the purity of the space. The hallway, however, introduces a more dramatic flair, featuring high-end furnishings like the Empire console and the Crown XL mirror. These pieces, with their marble and brass details, create a harmonious yet striking aesthetic, further illuminated by the soft glow of the Waterfall II big wall lamp. The Zeno Door Pull, by PullCast, in Carrara marble, works as a unifying element between the two spaces, proving, once again, how such apparently small details are able to tie a whole ensemble together.

Defying Conventionality in the Dining Room
The dining room of the Ruby Royal Penthouse is where João Campinas truly defies conventionality. The space is dominated by a bold color scheme of burgundy, black, and gold, creating an ambiance that is both dramatic and luxurious. The centerpiece is the Newton dining table by Boca do Lobo, a sculptural marvel made of lacquered spheres with a textured surface. This is complemented by Charla dining chairs in vibrant hues, adding an extra layer of elegance. The Tycho Rectangular suspension by LUXXU completes the room, its ribbed perfection casting a golden glow over the entire setting. The room is further enhanced by the Nubian sideboard and Waterfall II big wall lamps, which are paired with the Robin mirror by Boca do Lobo, creating a modern and art-filled atmosphere. The Matheny floor lamp by DelightFull adds a sense of musicality, inspired by the mid-century American jazz scene, while the Kotta rug by Rug’Society grounds the space with its printed animal aesthetic.
