We set out to create a gently raw, yet elevated NYC version of a lush Tulum beach dining/lounge experience focused on organically layered materials and textures of rough, natural surfaces and tactile fabrics. We based the aesthetic on a simple, muted earthy material palette commonly found in the Yucatán region dressed with elaborate hennequin ber wall hangings and woven sisal sunscreens. Tán has a more sophisticated ambiance with an abundance of natural light entering the space through the expansive skylight ceiling and minimal material uses of rough, hand-troweled cream plaster and rened walnut wood surfaces as anchor points in all of the tables, seating, columns, and beam work. Below the glass ceiling lives a series of hand-woven sisal ceiling panels creating a dapple lighting effect on the room and guests from the massive skylight ceiling and lighting above. Down to Earth luxury.
