Touring a Live-in Gallery Apartment in the Heart of Manhattan | Visitors' Book

The World of Interiors presents Visitors’ Book with Alex Tieghi-Walker. Alex welcomes us into his hybrid fifth-floor Manhattan apartment, which serves as both his home and a venue for his gallery, Tiwa Select, in New York City.

A warm and lived-in space, Alex’s New York City apartment plays host as a living gallery, where no artwork or furnishing is too precious to be handled and used, and every object carries a reverence for materials and the mark of its maker’s hand. “I love the history in this building, stripping away the layers of paint to see all the different colours that have been applied here,” Tieghi-Walker admits. Watch the full episode of Visitors’ Book as we explore Alex Tieghi-Walker’s walk-in exhibition venue and NYC home.

This is the second tour of one of Alex’s homes that I’ve seen—the first being on Vogue when he showcased his place in LA. The LA home is the closest I’ve ever seen to my dream house: the amount of natural light, the outdoor bathtub, the worn oak floors, the sunroom, the murals, and the stained glass windows. Despite what he shared in a subsequent interview about the house almost flooding every time it rained, his tour greatly influenced my interior design style. Now, I’m buying items that I love instead of overanalyzing what should go in each space. It’s lovely to see his new things on display and new home. I love the uneven floors, the fire escape, the sconces mounted on the bookshelf, and the hanging oil lanterns.

What a fascinating apartment! I love the idea of a living gallery where the artwork and furnishings are meant to be enjoyed and used. Alex Tieghi-Walker's appreciation for materials and craftsmanship is evident in every detail. Can't wait to explore this unique space further!

I have to admire anyone who can take a 'raw space', put in a bunch of random crap, and convince rich people to spend a fortune on it, while treating them like he doesn't need their buisiness. I've seen it hundreds of times in my 65 years and it still impresses me.

Alex has been my absolute favorite person to follow in interiors these last few years. Such recognizable and fantastic taste, I simply love it. Would love to visit his gallery/home some day soon.

I love that anyone can drop in unannounced at any time and be welcome...someone drops in unannounced, WE'RE

So interesting - every object and book and feature a potential conversation. Thanks so much for sharing this.

in case anyone is sorting through the comments feeling crazy, let me reassure you: yes, this is utterly insufferable

"You are what you were as a child" is a nice way of thinking for someone who presumably lived quite the Jetset childhood. Also helps them to keep those down that were not as fortunate.

everytime i come across this video, i'm amazed about the great idea and the way art can have a place in a different way, well done x

Being spontenious is a human quality for which I have admiration. It's in NY, and big cities like Marseille, France. Thank you for sharing.

Charming dog, man and space, thank you

The end disproves his entire casual open door policy moment he is having in his head. This is an imaginary story he is spinning. This concept does not exist in NYC. He literally says "tomorrow and Thursday by appointment only."

his other place rocked, so does this one and so does he.

I love his aesthetic and gallery. The desk is by California artist Vince Skelly.

OMG, I’ve been to this place once, and the only reason this guy has this apartment is to humiliate the people who go there. They treated us so badly when we tried to visit. The whole crew is super obnoxious, and you almost feel like you have to apologize for your existence. I’m not sure if they’re xenophobic towards Asians or if it’s just because we didn’t look “cool.” By the way, the exhibition wasn’t even good.

Galleria stupenda, gusto ed un tocco di originalità adoro❤

[rayarena]

Forget about the gallery, I tried to focus on the art, I swear I did, but I couldn't! Alex is fine as hell!

[Me]

Ah yeah loved the guy with the hat on the wall

[margietalk]

love the red chairs! they look uncomfortable and could possibly poke your eyes out...i'd prob wanna be buried with them. love your oil lamps and chains. cool space!.

[valsainking]

Authentic and elevated boho chic living at its finest. You could film an Anthropologie tv ad in this place. The artsy vibe is so zen.
