In September 2018 the first Brazilian Four Seasons Hotel was inaugurated in São Paulo. The clients requested that finishes, materials and objects had to be national, resulting in a great research opportunity for Foco Luz & Desenho. The office was responsible for the lighting project, guided by initial concepts stipulated by the American office Lang Lighting Design, Inc.

On the hotel's reception ceiling, concentric lines of transparent and luminous spheres were contrasted by a dark panel, creating a glaring atmosphere. In Ballroom, rectangular frames made with translucent pendants gave life to the space and hid the fluorescent fixtures embedded in the ceiling.

In the lobby, indirect lighting was chosen for the gold-paper-covered wall. The restaurant was programmed with different intensities to attend clients, from breakfast to dinner. At the spa's reception, light beams illuminated a panel made of wood sculptures, accentuating its contours. For the pool area, cylindrical volumes received subtle lighting on their tops.

The project highlight is the helicoidal staircase. To offer even more expressiveness to the marble steps and its reddish and golden tones, Foco chose baseboards with built-in lights and some pendant lightings that could accompany the movement of the steps. A handcrafted work, done locally, that perfectly translated the exclusive experience of the Four Seasons Hotel São Paulo.
