Kettl Sen Mon Ten
by Michael Tower Architecture

Michael Tower Architecture has designed the Kettl Sen Mon Ten lighting for Kettl Tea.

Kettl Tea partnered with Michael Tower Architecture to create Sen Mon Ten, a Greenpoint cafe devoted entirely to matcha and its ceremonial qualities.

The design features two interconnected spaces: a bright, tactile public café with smooth concrete, plaster and stone surfaces, balancing refinement with imperfection.

The second, more intimate private tasting room is centred beneath a glowing suspended wood light feature and a ceremonial matcha mill display.

Together, the spaces create an immersive journey that reflects both the social and meditative aspects of matcha culture.
