This is one of my favorite interiors ever. It's masculine and edgy. I love Fritz's maximalist moments, his end table in the bedroom and the jampacked shelving in the library in contrast with the minimal decor. You're hired!
Yes!!!
@@andreaandrea6716shut up!
Lets have a part two of Fritz and his marvelous eye for collecting and placement of objects!
Good heavens, the number of commissioned pieces and works of art is astounding! I'm thrilled when superb design gives art a home.
Yes!!
Love hand felted banch and corner armchair and other textiles , fits just beautifly with all hard items
I saw this apartment on an episode of Open House maybe six years ago and to this day it remains one of my favorite contemporary, minimalist interiors - scratch that - one of my favorite interiors of any style. I saved the episode on a decommissioned Tivo, but now, with this video, I can revisit it and be inspired anew whenever I want!
I LOVE HOW DAVID IS SIMPLE AND CLEAN AND FRITZ IS TREASURES AND MINIATURES AND STONES AND MINI CHAIRS PLUS I NEED AN INTERVIEW OR SHOW AND TELL WITH THE TREASURES OF FRITZ'S COLLECTION !!!!!!
Opposites attract 💕 😅
Love it their conversations must be marvellous totally different perspectives.
Wow! What an amazing apartment! I love the contrast between David's nightstand and Fritz's nightstand 😊
I like that they have a respect for what each likes and allows it to happen!
I’m in love with the aesthetic and the art !!!
I wanna see more Fritz, maybe a house of his own after he's lived there for 20 years collecting , is there a studio of his we can see? His perfectly placed maximalist collections are amazing !
Beautiful! I have a feeling that home would look a lot different if it was just Fritz by himself.😂
haha, was going to say it! I feel like they might have a cottage upstate where it's "more Fritz" haha
Thankfully David is there to keep Fritz's tendency for hoarding in check. 😂
Fritz is GOALS!!!!! The painting that you refer to as The Emperor has new clothes is astounding!!!!
Just amazing. This home is minimal while simultaneously being a HUGE statement! The passion and vulnerability it must have taken just to learn to blend their two styles. THE KITCHEN!! everything down to the dishes!!! On trend yet timeless....MA-JOR!
My goodness. Every single detail was exquisite. The best interior I've seen, The contrast of tastes both excellent. Everything
Omg i'm OBSESSED with this couple. So refreshing to see two completely different personalities and styles but show that both can be embraced.
What a beautiful apartment! Love every aspect of it; and that library and all the Fritz’s collections of curiosities are fabulous.
This home is a feast for the eyes and soul. It’s full of fantastic collections. What fun this was to watch. Thanks for the treat. Great home
Not minimalist with the amount of Books and "collections", yet tucked away! Jetsons, what's not to love 😊
Lovely design layout and wall art. There truly are some lovely penthouses in NYC, and surrounding areas. Off the Hudson definitely has some fabulous views! ❤
I think the building is in mid-town east and the view is of the East River.
Black and white done right. It’s gorgeous!
Great tour! Love this eclectic and beautiful home!
Fritz, as a chronic, compulsive, collector myself, I admire the restraint you’ve exhibited by editing what you display in the city apartment. I hope you have more devoted space in the country house to display groupings of the wonderful things you find. Didn’t you work a spell for Martha Stewart Living as a buyer for food styling items, other props for photo shoots? Great sophisticated space guys. The kitchen choices are stellar.
This is WONDERFUL! The minimalism balanced by the maximalism... is perfect. It alleviates the sterility and adds interest.
How fabulous and a big bonus was realizing I had Fritz’s book “Collected” and hadn’t looked at it since I bought it. A great reminder to look through the book again.
I’m over five years old too, but I love his book shelf!😉 Unique, beautiful home!
I would never want to leave your home, absolutely magnificent ✨️ 🎉 😊 ❤
I'm pretty sure I can watch this video over and over again❤❤❤❤❤
Brilliant ❤❤❤❤
I love it. Quite something compared to other designer apartments.
I love your style - you both compliment each other in the perfect way
I love love your taste. Great bookshelf
Perfection ❤
Love it all, but that library and the stunning Fragile Future chandelier are just too fabulous. Fritz’s collections are so cool and fun. Great home tour!
I agree ! ❤ ! A wonderful couple, a wonderful home !
Wow, stunning!!! Bliss to see his creation book shelf and bedside table vortex yet infused into existence of matrix as whole in both worlds. More than 5 I am in trouble - awareness of creativity transferred into miniatures is incredible, no compromise, just fusing into reality in just perfect way…
Amazing couple, inspiring me quantum jump.
This is just crazy - i wasn't sure when I started watching this because I am not a big fan of modern and minimalist style but this has just captured me! I love so many things about it and got some great ideas along the way.
I am a little envious of all their art and design books 👏
I have seen the making of the dandelion chandelier. It was a few years ago and I always thought about how to keep this thing clean. They glued each and every fragile parachute seed to build the globes and bend the copper pipes into shape. Copper gets quite dark and murky due to oxidation and the dandelions collect dust like nothing good. Guess polishing and vacuuming is not an option. And the chandelier was hell of expensive (it is a piece of art)
This is not my cup of tea and yet it's the most beautiful streamlined interior space. The last thing that comes to my mind is the ' Elegant eclectic space' as the title suggests!
So wonderfullll! I've watched this episode over and over. Thank you for sharing your genius.
Love the chandelier.
STUNNING, thank you for opening your interior world!
"30 million pieces of clothing." I love this and them.
The apartment is in United Nations Plaza. Considered dowdy for decades, the building now enjoys a second-life as residence for lovers of mid-century modernism.
wow this is amazing what they did with this apartment. so talented
This is an odd couple , but I have the feeling they complement and support each other positively.
“Odd” definitely …
Beautiful! I love this style so much! 🤗
Exquisite ❤
You can see that the concept was based on quality experience of the designer. ✨
★Epic space and the view!𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪
very beautiful mix of styles & textures....!
LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING !!!
There are no words. Ok, one. Stunning
Beautiful home.🥰🥰
Beautiful.
Jin-Jang is at its finest here, although the jang only has only two areas and some closets. I call that a great collaboration.
I love this.Im going to copy that for my next ladies lunch.Wonderful
Just beautiful!
Adore it! Much love from South of France
I have that Pyrex Flameware percolator too!
p.s. where's my manners? Thank you for sharing your home!!! Love!
Love everything.
The man with the beard......... interesting hoarder........ ahahaha....... Nice staff......
OMG POOR FRITZ DEF NEEDS A SHOWER AND A SHAVE! nice furniture
Elegant. And homey.
MR decor I love what y’all do.
I wonder if they lived at 1 Christopher Street? The terrace looked familiar. Great style ❤
That dog is like a living sculpture I guess.
So pretty
Im obsessed with the dining room, especially the chandelier and the table. Idk about Fritz and his collections tho 😅
Edit: ok I love the cluttered nightstand so much
Are those Elsa Peretti candlesticks I spy ? ❤
Where is the tray table sold? I tried Google, but can't make out the name of the retailer.
Where can I find that black tile from the kitchen?
Wow
The man with beard look like russian writer Leo Tolstoy. He was famous by his novels, one of them The peace and war
Anyone know what a tulu is? David mentions them a few times. I cant find it anywhere but want to know.
the brass table.
I still miss the terrace from the first apartment.
So Fritz is a styling consultant? Right 😂 I'm the Queen of Persia 😂
He is and you're not. 🤣🤣🤣
Can anyone share the name of the self portrait artist? Benjamin?? It’s the all dark canvas in the dining area. Thank you in advance
Benjamin Cottam
so Chic
Great look , but you said you guys are Minimalist's ?? 🤣🤣🤣 I wouldn’t say that guys 🤪
💕🏠💕
What city is the apartment in?
New York.
❤
Can the camera person for this channel shoot things straight on and balanced please? No offense 😊 A lot of the shots are lopsided, odd panning and hidden behind corner angle shots.
Please get a better camera with good quality that shows the colors and details. Such a beautiful place but the real quality of the apartment did not come through because of the cheap video quality.
Love the tour but please get a better microphone!
Ummm...I could be incorrect, but I think Fritz Karch has been an integral part of Martha Stewart's business?
You're not wrong. According to Google, "Fritz Karch was the editorial director of collecting at Martha Stewart Living for 15 years."
“Minimalists” with seven closets!😂😂😂😂
David sounds like a historian.
LOVELY home and style looks like fritz needs a good makeover and a good shower :)
That's rude. He is who he is.
Just had an interruption ad... about DIAPERS! OhdearGod... the algorithm is off!
I pretty much watch home tours on mute. I'm there for the items, not the stories. Rude, possibly, but.... they mentioned it was just the 2 of them. I thought, surely they have a dog. And they do😊
the odd couple, 7 closets and he wears that? one word. Edit
they seem like polar opposites 😭
It's so strange seeing Chinese door lions in the bathroom....
Почему лев толстой так неухоженн?
Such a strench gay Capil , life is very Interesting 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So materialistic ... good lord
Both video image quality and colors are very bad. Ruins the videos. Please do better.
(3:16) Ugh!!!! No. The music is WRONG. It's irritating. I need a drum solo behind WHAT THIS MAN IS EXPLAINING ABOUT HIS HALLWAY? It is competing with his voice. (3:49) Phew!!! Much better....
I have to say, now that I'm at the end, the music is a distraction throughout. A good frame, on a painting or picture, is one you don't notice... but it enhances the Art tenfold.
