Inside a Collected Antique-Filled New York Apartment with Alex Papachristidis

Beloved Homeworthy host and celebrated interior designer Alex Papachristidis takes us inside the Upper East Side apartment of antiques dealer Louis Bofferding for an intimate tour filled with extraordinary stories, treasured collections, and timeless design wisdom.

Though petite in size, Louis’ apartment is layered with museum-worthy antiques, beloved family heirlooms, books, photographs, and deeply personal objects gathered over decades of collecting. From antique Japanese treasures and neoclassical details to a sunshine-yellow kitchen and bathroom, every corner reflects Louis’ singular eye and thoughtful approach to living beautifully in a small space.

Throughout the tour, Alex and Louis reminisce about New York design legends, the art of collecting, and the importance of surrounding yourself with objects that carry memory, history, and soul.

The result is a home that feels deeply intellectual, charmingly eccentric, and unmistakably personal—proof that great style has nothing to do with square footage. Enjoy this inspiring visit with two of the design world’s great aesthetes.
