New York City Apartment is the home of local designer Michael Tomei. The 454 SQM home was cleverly designed and decorated, combining modern interior decor with antique furniture, which is reflected in the two bedrooms and attic.

Gut renovating the space in a century-old warehouse building in Manhattan’s NoHo district signaled a major gear-shift for Tomei, who used to conceptualize store displays and fashion shows for brands like Calvin Klein, Balenciaga, and Lanvin. Opening Michael Vincent Design in 2019 allowed him to devote his energy to rescuing old buildings and time-worn furniture. 

Each nook in the loft reflects his intuitive aptitude for seamless juxtapositions between old and new objects: In the dining area, a heirloom mahogany table from the 1920s is flanked by Harry Bertoia’s wire chairs. His grandmother’s chinoiserie cabinet shares the same space as a Jean Prouvé lamp and a pair of handsome bean-shaped sofas from Studio Walrus. One exception is the 1990s minimalist reverie in the primary bathroom.
