What Marina Linhares Dec. de Interiores S/C Ltda does

Marina Linhares Dec. de Interiores S/C Ltda is a São Paulo–based, founder-owned interior design studio founded in 1996 by Marina Linhares. The studio delivers full-service interior design and decoration for high-end residential, hospitality (hotels, hostels), commercial (showrooms, offices), and real estate development (incorporações) clients, with project execution spanning Brazil and select international markets including Lisbon, Cascais, and London. Pricing is quote-based and engagement length is multi-year for services, while product sales are unit-priced; the studio orchestrates suppliers and timelines as part of its turnkey delivery model.

The studio has expanded from pure design services into a productized ecosystem that includes home fragrances (home sprays, diffusers, liquid soaps, candles) and decorative objects (trays, organizers, signature pieces like the Trevo G solid-wood decorative object) sold through its own e-commerce platform at loja.marinalinharesinteriores.com. Custom co-developed products include the Luminária Vento (with Lightworks, made from repurposed kitesurf sails) and the Petra Taipa sintered stone line (with Portinari, winner of the iF Design Award 2026). Sub-brands include the OIÁ boutique hospitality venture in Lençóis Maranhenses (launched 2024), the tesá perfumery line, and the Manacá signature fragrance.

The business is operated by a small team of 1–10, over 80% of whom are women, and the studio was the first interior design office in Brazil to obtain B Corp certification in 2023. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company has not raised external funding and remains independently held. The revenue mix combines professional services (interior design), one-time product sales (own and co-developed goods), and emerging hospitality operations under OIÁ. Customer logos include Inhotim, SP-Arte, Instituto Cactus, Lumini, Tereza Perez, Fazenda Vista Verde, and Clara Ibiúna, with notable architecture collaborations alongside Isay Weinfeld, Jacobsen Arquitetura, and Reinach Mendonça.
