Seabar is designed as an immersive coastal escape—an environment that blends Staten Island’s waterfront character with the ambiance of a Mediterranean fish market and a contemporary dining hall. The space uses materiality, light, and handcrafted details to evoke the experience of being surrounded by sea, boats, and the craft of fishing culture.
The main dining areas celebrate craft and coastal heritage. Oversized hand-painted murals of fishermen, boats, and sea life create a storytelling layer—bringing a vintage maritime narrative into a modern setting. The use of natural wood, open-grain finishes, and deep nautical blues adds richness without heaviness, grounding the environment in honesty and warmth.
Above the guests, suspended sailcloth panels stretch across the ceiling like fragmented sails catching a coastal breeze. These sculptural elements soften the industrial ceiling and create movement overhead, while woven basket pendant lights cast warm, dappled shadows—reminiscent of lanterns on a fishing dock at dusk.
