Inside the Hotel on Rivington is CO-OP Restaurant which was inspired by California during the early 1970’s combined with the gritty edge of the LES. The space – warm, clean, and soulful, with hints of glamour – was designed by DeVinn Bruce, who previously worked on projects for Versace, Baccarat, Francis Ford Coppola, Jennifer Lopez, and Estee Lauder. Looking to tie the gold mirrored bar in front and the portrait laden rear dining room together, DeVinn chose Flavor Paper’s Rio Crocodillo in Caiman to add a sophisticated, gilded swerve to the central dining room. The wallpapered lampshades add an additional depth as well.
