On the Upper East Side, Alyssa Kapito Shapes Her Own Family Home
Briefly

Among the most cherished items in Alyssa Kapito's Upper East Side apartment are vintage cane chairs she picked up years ago in Barcelona 'for a song.'" Though upon closer inspection, a level of patina is another component of the larger Alyssa Kapito Interiors package, which epitomizes elegance but isn't overly precious. Kapito regards imperfections as charming, stating, "My kids stick their fingers in the wicker seats, but it doesn't bother me. It gives character to them and they still work." "Taking a piece of furniture into your home—you’re giving it the provenance, you're giving it the extra life, then you pass it on to somebody else and they give it the same, and by the end, it has all these stories." Kapito emphasizes her design style reflects living comfortably, highlighting the narrative behind each piece.
