Sesilya
A Georgian-inspired dining room in Park Slope, built around wine, gathering, and the long ritual of the table.
Sesilya translates Georgia's eight-thousand-year wine culture into a Brooklyn dining room without ever quoting it literally. The challenge was to make a space that feels culturally rooted, never themed — so the references stay quiet: symbols of land, harvest, family, and hospitality, worked into warm plaster, intimate lighting, and custom artwork. A hand-painted mural traces the history of the vine from 6000 BC to the year the room opened.
Wine anchors the architecture the way it anchors the culture. A full-height wine display rises through the room like a lit hearth, and around it the tables are laid for the supra — the Georgian feast where the table is long, the toasts are longer, and no one is a stranger by the second glass. The result is a room where tradition feels contemporary, generous, and deeply personal.
“In Georgia, the table is the room. We built Sesilya in that order.”
