Yusha

Led by restaurateur Marcelo Torres of the Best Fork Group, Yusha brings the finest of contemporary Japanese cuisine to a space defined by refined contrasts. The lighting design was conceived to evolve with the rhythm of the restaurant throughout the day, creating a distinct identity for lunch service and a more intimate, dramatic atmosphere in the evening. As daylight fades, the interplay of light and shadow becomes more pronounced, bringing luxurious finishes, including handcrafted ceramic walls and a sculptural installation accented with gold, to life.

To ensure this seamless transition, we combined focused lighting over the tables with soft indirect illumination that gently unfolds throughout the space, allowing the restaurant to reveal itself differently as the day progresses. Yusha is a clear expression of what Lighting Beyond Light means: here, lighting does more than illuminate the environment, it transforms the entire experience.
