88 ORCHARD

88 Orchard is tucked away in an iconic NYC tenement building, where vintage charm meets a cozy, contemporary feel. The cafe’s interior showcases the building’s original stamped ceilings, solid woodwork, and rough-hewn brick, creating an interplay of physical and lighting textures that feels both tactile and visually immersive. Ornate moldings add a touch of elegance, while the lighting design brings warmth to every historic feature.

Our steamlights, crafted from stainless steel, serve dual roles, casting task lighting that makes reading wall menus easy while also creating delicate, artistic light patterns on the ceiling and walls. The sconces diffuse light softly, highlighting textures and adding to the earthy, welcoming palette of warm creams, rich browns, and muted yellows. This thoughtful layering of lighting and architecture invites guests to step back into an old New York setting—perfect for a relaxed meal or drink surrounded by character, warmth, and a touch of artistic lighting.
