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!

[@b.bernal6151]

Beautiful! I have a feeling that home would look a lot different if it was just Fritz by himself.😂

[@ginacrusco234]

Good heavens, the number of commissioned pieces and works of art is astounding! I'm thrilled when superb design gives art a home.

[@arlenehutchinson9259]

Opposites attract 💕 😅 Love it their conversations must be marvellous totally different perspectives.

[@user-sc9lr6kz8t]

Wow! What an amazing apartment! I love the contrast between David's nightstand and Fritz's nightstand 😊

[@fernandooriginal]

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 !!!!!!

[@rrR-pl7gi]

My goodness. Every single detail was exquisite. The best interior I've seen, The contrast of tastes both excellent. Everything

[@boyroyboy226]

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.

[@ginafriend1690]

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! ❤

[@lisahinkofer2085]

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

[@deborahe3117]

Great tour! Love this eclectic and beautiful home!

[@goldenlabelstudio]

Black and white done right. It’s gorgeous!

[@roystrickland3363]

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.

[@mariawelling4194]

I would never want to leave your home, absolutely magnificent ✨️ 🎉 😊 ❤

[@spaghettihorse1]

That dog is like a living sculpture I guess.

[@tzitzsi]

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 !

[@TheUrbanMinimalist]

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!

[@brendanawesomeness]

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

[@ITcanB]

Are those Elsa Peretti candlesticks I spy ? ❤

[@christinemilligan9158]

I love this.Im going to copy that for my next ladies lunch.Wonderful

[@mariawelling4194]

p.s. where's my manners? Thank you for sharing your home!!! Love!

[@jenniferalexisgavin1759]

I have that Pyrex Flameware percolator too!

[@donseiler1307]

Beautiful.

[@frauleintrude6347]

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)

[@maricajackson4788]

Exquisite ❤

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

MR decor I love what y’all do.

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

Elegant. And homey.

[@dianebaker5243]

Beautiful home.🥰🥰

[@margietalk]

the brass table.

[@bluebird4483]

YES

[@toddmerritt960]

Great look , but you said you guys are Minimalist's ?? 🤣🤣🤣 I wouldn’t say that guys 🤪

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

David sounds like a historian.

[@donseiler1307]

What city is the apartment in?

[@virve1268]

Love the tour but please get a better microphone!

[@ulitkabob7567]

Почему лев толстой так неухоженн?

[@Maria-fd7re]

“Minimalists” with seven closets!😂😂😂😂

[@antoniocarlosrodriguescamp1497]

For my taste it lacks colour. The whole flat has the same déjà vu three colour palette: white, black and brown.

[@Asdfhjkl998]

Such a strench gay Capil , life is very Interesting 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@troyflatland5299]

The audio is really very bad also what are you people doing???

[@grantnoroyan4083]

LOVELY home and style looks like fritz needs a good makeover and a good shower :)

[@shareeminor9125]

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😊

[@jasmarr]

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.

[@dontbekhoi]

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.

[@troyflatland5299]

Both video image quality and colors are very bad. Ruins the videos. Please do better.

[@yunsunyeon1976sun]

"minimal~"........ !

[@karentracy9657]

Creepy

[@spaghettihorse1]

I don't know...to me this is not liveable. Staring at a wall of tar while cooking? That furry rug on the wall is too much, the dandelion chandelier looks rusty now...too many glossy shiny and complex patterns, too many collected toy chairs and too many books on the tables.

[@IGuess...]

Why does grandpa need all those clothes if he's just going to look like a homeless person?
