In 1999, restaurateur Keith McNally opened Pastis. This New York City French bistro would become well-known as a hangout for locals and stars alike. The community treasured its warm atmosphere and comforting bistro fare. When Pastis' doors closed in 2014, heartbroken customers were left at a loss.

Keith McNally and restaurateur Stephen Starr teamed up to reconstruct the iconic restaurant in a new NYC location, which reopened in June 2019. Designed in a similar fashion as the original restaurant, Pastis' atmosphere is timeless and familiar.

​

Conant Metal & Light originally created the majority of the restaurant's lighting, including pendants, buttercup sconces, light boxes, and a lit-up clock. Starr Restaurant Group contacted Conant to replicate, alter, and bring back to life these original fixtures, which enhance the beautiful atmosphere known as Pastis.
