Hi, this is Julie with and I'm very excited to introduce you to a new line of products and these are Vintaj Patinas and they come in sets of three like this. Next week he’s off to Los Angeles for four more shoots.Note: This audio transcript is auto-generated and may not be completely accurate.
“It will always be with me.” Well, in spirit at least. “There’s so much sentiment there,” he says of the table. At the time of our visit, pieces from his new Menu collection mingled with a range of unique finds, from Japanese vessels to an Allmoge box to a Gae Aulenti lamp. Today, that table remains a laboratory for arranging, albeit increasingly with objects of the more rarefied variety. To anchor the vast living area, King designed an oversized daybed and sofa, both of which had to be constructed on-site.Īmong the pieces that followed him to Tribeca, however, was the travertine pedestal table that served as the stage for his pandemic photo series, “Stay Home Still Life.” Confined to his Brooklyn apartment during lockdown, King composed whatever items he could find (eggshells, scissors, a glass of milk) into poetic tableaux, the success of which made him an overnight Instagram sensation. Only upon moving the furniture from his previous apartment in Brooklyn Heights did he realize it would all look dollhouse scale in his new aerie.

King proceeded to update every detail bit by bit-plastering the walls and ceiling at the suggestion of Kamp Studios living with 15 paint colors before settling on a custom shade of beige and installing bespoke doors, air-conditioner covers, gallery rods, and more.
Back in the States, since stumbling into his first styling gig at the urging of the artist Jack Ceglic, it’s been a nonstop blur of high-profile commissions.

A series of jobs followed, among them a London stint as a personal trainer for Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney, and Victoria Beckham. He eventually abandoned dreams of the stage but credits dance with his intuitive understanding of line, form, and space. “It wasn’t a career that seemed real, let alone possible,” says King, who grew up in rural Ohio and cut his creative teeth studying ballet.

Styling was not, however, a lifelong professional goal. That’s precisely the vibe-calm, unstudied, anecdotal, inviting-that has made King such a hit with brands on the order of West Elm, Zara Home, and Anthropologie, not to mention top designers and magazines like AD. Vases by King for Menu painting by Malcolm T. Outside the city churns but inside, thanks to King’s meticulous renovation, the rooms whisper.Īt King’s Tribeca loft, the bedroom is painted in Farrow & Ball’s Deep Reddish Brown by Empire Painting, who painted surfaces throughout the apartment. (Full disclosure: It was written with yours truly.) As we chat, sun streams through the undressed windows, washing over vignettes of assorted treasures, accentuating the patina, glaze, and grain of each surface. It’s been here that, most recently, he’s conceived new collections for Beni Rugs, the hit company where he serves as artistic director at large here that he’s designed an expanding array of objects for the Danish studio Menu and here that he’s pored over thousands of images from past shoots for his first book, Arranging Things, coming out in March 2023 with Rizzoli. We are sitting at the custom-made ash dining table that doubles as ground control for his rapidly evolving operation. “When I’m here it’s about reconnecting with myself and my people,” reflects King of the light-filled loft. So he’s determined to make every minute in the comfort of home count.
The month before, he spent just four days in his new Tribeca apartment. At the time of our meeting, the Manhattan-based interior stylist had just returned from three weeks of whirlwind travel, having zigzagged from Northern California to Ghent to Mexico on assignment.
