| Sumario: | This article focuses on the lighting architecture of the restaurant SEA in Brooklyn, New York City. The 7,500-square-foot restaurant, a former meatpacking warehouse, is the sixth SEA Thai Restaurant Group venue designed by Charoonkit Thahong. Vintage lighting fixtures and chairs are combined with tables and benches built from wood salvaged on-site. Other tables are Noguchi-inspired. Thahong devised a colored-lighting scheme to distinguish zones, red in the lounge, green in the dining area, and yellow at a second bar toward the back. In the center of the room, a reflecting pool inspired by Thailand's floating markets is presided over by a standing Buddha grazed by underwater spotlights.
