Fasano Itaim is an ode to classic elegance. The Italian family, devoted to hospitality for three generations, forged a brand over the principles of excellence and warm service. Its interiors are dark, walls covered in Brazilian freijó wood, with very punctual lighting. A diffuse natural brightness filtered by continuous linen curtains creates an ethereal atmosphere.

The guest arrives straight to a long homey living room, with overlaid layouts that create a vibrancy that one feels immediately invited to take part. Human interaction is placed at the center stage in the common area. The chosen furniture encourages visual permeability, low armchairs and see-through bookshelves enhance the space's extension.

Important mid-century pieces are balanced with contemporary designs by Minotti, the most famous furniture factory from the heart of Italian tradition, including some design collections by Studio MK27 such as Brasilia sofas, Super Quadra sideboards and the iconic Daiki armchair. The lobby and bar’s sober ambiance undergoes a transformation as you step into the restaurant. Here, the atmosphere is cozy, bathed in natural light streaming in through generous windows. The use of tactile fabrics and textures, such as the brick walls, embrace the guests for a typical warm Italian meal.

The suites showcase a precise selection of finishes, such as the slatted paneling and the leather headboard and special Brazilian pieces, as Drummond and Gio armchairs by Sérgio Rodrigues and Bank coffee table by Jader Almeida. With an accurate dose of sophistication, Fasano’s suite invites one for a relaxing time after a long day in chaotic São Paulo.

Finally, the rooftop furniture pieces embrace organicity and comfort, inaugurating a fresh destination for dining and partying, while overlooking São Paulo’s skyline.
