Filmed in New York, the episode celebrates hospitality through an elegant Christmas table designed with Gui Siqueira.
A tribute to hospitality and style
Creative director and entrepreneur Marcelo Antunes, founder of MGA Studio, ends 2025 with a Christmas special edition of his series “A Natureza de Receber”. Recorded in New York, the episode reflects on the art of welcoming as an expression of affection and cultural identity.
The special premiered on December 21 on the project’s official YouTube channel and was filmed at Gui Siqueira and Domenico’s home. Together, Marcelo and Gui created a Christmas table that blends design, elegance, and memory — a celebration of hospitality through beauty.
Culture and artistry in every detail
The table features Dolce & Gabbana dinnerware inspired by traditional Sicilian cart motifs, adding color and storytelling to the décor. The result is a vibrant setting that mirrors the series’ ethos — merging design, emotion, and tradition in a visual narrative of connection.
Since its debut, “A Natureza de Receber” has examined hospitality as a social ritual, featuring guests like Silvia Braz, Ana Paula Siebert, and Vivianne Piquet. Its second season, released in 2025, traversed Brazil’s coastline, highlighting the homes and hospitality of figures from fashion, architecture, jewelry, and art.
Creative continuity and new horizons
Beyond this project, Marcelo also leads “De Capotar”, a series dedicated to gastronomy and everyday hosting. The Christmas edition of “A Natureza de Receber” closes the year on an inspiring note — blending artistry, emotion, and the timeless act of bringing people together.
