INTERFACE Head Collaborator
140 W 30th St New York, NY
About Interface: Once a raw and bustling neighborhood known as the Fur District, the intersection of North Chelsea and NoMad has evolved over the past 40 years into something less tangible and communal. But amidst the towering office buildings and chain restaurants, there exists a connection to that time and place, rich in history, creativity, and heart . Interface is a membership community comprised of the curious, the disruptive, the engaged, and the mindful. A 2,700 sq foot lounge offers a casual meeting and social space during the day, comfortably designed to facilitate conversation amongst neighbors. In the evening the space hosts carefully created programming, providing a stimulating outlet for the community. Interface is a reflection of the people who participate in it, a public sphere built for us by us to usher in a burgeoning community of the eager, the intellectual, and the brave.
