Based in Portugal, Barbara’s work reflects a deep love for natural fibers—especially luxury linen—and an instinct for colour that balances serenity with boldness.

Introducing the “Paraty” Collection

Barbara Osorio’s latest release, Paraty, is a sunlit journey to Brazil’s coastal gem of the same name. Nestled between lush mountains and the sea, the town of Paraty is known for its colonial-era architecture, tropical flora, cobbled streets, and lively café culture. This new collection captures the town’s essence—laid-back, soulful, and effortlessly vibrant. It's a perfect match for tropical-inspired interiors, contemporary coastal home décor, and boutique hospitality projects.

Motifs That Tell a Story

The Paraty collection is more than just a visual tribute—it's an emotional impression of the place. These decorative fabric patterns draw from:

  • Tropical nature: Lush leaves, climbing vines, and soft florals evoke the surrounding Atlantic rainforest, ideal for botanical-themed interiors.

  • Colonial architecture: Patterns inspired by tiled façades, iron balconies, and the rhythmic geometry of colonial doors and shutters add a timeless feel for heritage-style spaces.

  • Café life: Painterly tablescape patterns suggest the joy of shared meals—sunlit tablecloths, scattered fruit, and the casual elegance of gathering with loved ones in breezy, open-air cafés. Perfect for relaxed dining spaces, open-plan living, and bohemian interiors.

Together, these motifs create a layered design story that speaks to both nature and nostalgia—key elements in modern interior styling.

Materials & Mood

Woven from premium natural linen and soft blended fibres, these luxury textiles offer tactile beauty and durability. Ideal for upholstery fabric, drapery, and soft furnishings, Paraty is as functional as it is beautiful. The palette—earthy neutrals, sun-washed corals, leafy greens—enhances light and complements a variety of interior color schemes, especially in Mediterranean, modern rustic, and contemporary coastal interior design.

A Spirit of Place, A Sense of Home

With Paraty, Barbara Osorio once again proves that designer fabrics can be portals—bridging continents, climates, and cultures. This collection is both an homage to a Brazilian town and a love letter to the simple elegance of everyday life—whether in a Lisbon apartment, a São Paulo café, or a coastal retreat. It’s not just about décor. It’s about how a space feels. And Paraty feels like summer, like heritage, like coming home from a long walk and lingering over a refreshing beverage.
