Mesoamerican concept HOWM Cocina & Cocktails has debuted atop the Selina Hotel Chelsea in New York. Crafted by Heather Maloney of Definition Design, the convivial venue offsets its industrial backdrop with soft textural finishes that complement a lively, modern ethos. “Materiality was a significant element in the redesign,” Maloney says. “it also allows guests to feel transported to a more tropical locale while being situated on the 10th floor in the center of the Chelsea Arts District.”
