My Favorite Things

Sought out by New York’s most discerning aesthetes, Michael Bargo has become known for expertly marrying midcentury collectibles with lesser-known contemporary finds. Here, the interior designer and dealer shares the pieces with which he’d never part, from a mother-of-pearl caviar set to the black-glass candle that fills his downtown apartment-turned-gallery with inviting notes of cedar and sandalwood
