At Colin King’s new Manhattan apartment, on the 11th floor of a 1930 Chelsea building, casement windows and a generous terrace look out across neighboring rooftops, the city unfolding in a postcard-perfect sweep. It is, in every sense, the most elevated space he has ever called home—filled with choice antiques, vintage treasures, and a growing collection of fine art. Packed away are the rocks he’s collected since childhood. His bed, once artfully tussled, is a feat of military-tight corners. And there is nary a pear (IYKYK) to be found. “Every time people visit they’ll say, Wow, so different for you,” he reflects. “But this side of me was always there.”
Antique and vintage finds of wide-ranging origin converge in the living room; artworks by Alice Rahon (center) and Dominique Knowles (right).
