Apartment tour: 2BR in Tribeca

“I prefer an empty apartment, the less clutter the better,” says 47-year-old Ricky Kenig. It also, he jokes, makes it easier for his twin daughters, Max (at left) and Dylan, to clean.

Kenig moves frequently and redecorates each time. The only consistent piece of furniture the family keeps is this bright blue couch from Edra (601 W 26th St, 212-807-7300). “We live on it,” he says.

“We eat out every meal, so it made more sense to put a pool table in here than a dining table,” says Kenig of the apartment’s dining room.

One of Kenig’s favorite pieces is a Tom Dixon chair made from rubber bands, which he bought at ABC Carpet & Home. Says Kenig, “It’s just an interesting-looking piece, and surprisingly comfortable.”

Kenig took a piece of cowhide meant for the floor and stretched and framed it above a simple steel desk from ABC Carpet & Home. The bookstands next to it are from Design Within Reach. “Most of the books are actually architecture books,” he says. “It’s a topic I’m really interested in.”

Family photos and ceramics made by Dylan and Max line the windowsill.

“This is the cheapest, most incredible shelving from Ikea,” says Kenig. “It’s a few hundred dollars and you can just keep adding to it.”

“I love Rick Owens,” says Kenig. “I literally have hundreds of his basic pieces—plain tank tops, long-sleeved shirts and ribbed tops—and I probably have a hundred more in storage. If I like something, I tend to buy it in bulk.”

“I used to be a sneaker fanatic and collected hundreds of them, but now I just try to buy ones that I’m actually going to wear,” says Kenig.

“I’m like a secret hoarder—but a clean hoarder,” Kenig says of his tendency to buy multiples. “I’m definitely a shopaholic.” Though Kenig doesn’t know exactly how many garments he owns, he estimates it’s “a few hundred thousand too many.”
