“What was fun about working with Becky on our last home and again on this one is that she has a good sense of our aesthetic,” Zoninsein says. She also outfitted the pair’s previous apartment in Greenwich Village. “I created the layout with the sole purpose of entertaining in mind,” Shea explains. The couple gave their trusted friend Becky Shea-a New York interior designer-a call and, suffice to say, she delivered.
Plus, after welcoming their first child, Izzo, in October of 2020, moving into a bigger home with fewer walls made sense. After all, they both have big families (hers Brazilian and his American, Indian, and Scandinavian) and love to play host. When Bonobos founder Andy Dunn and his wife Manuela Zoninsein purchased their three-bedroom New York City apartment on the historic Great Jones Street, they knew that creating an open floor plan-designed by BKSK Architects-was paramount.
