The New York decorator and design dealer Michael Bargo’s home and gallery space is located on the third floor of a five-story brick building in New York’s Chinatown. Like many tenements on the Bowery, Bargo’s has a storied past and a rather unremarkable future .
The living space features a similar mix of mostly French pieces with a few wild cards thrown in, like a jet black seat by the Finnish designer Yrjö Kukkapuro; a wool ’30s-era Marian Pepler rug; and a–inspired plywood sofa designed by Bargo’s friend Nick Poe. “Everything in the gallery is for sale, whereas back here are items that the cats can destroy, artworks I don’t want to part with, or things that aren’t necessarily provenance but that I just love having,” he explains.
