Better With Age: Alithea Castillo and Kim Tin

What if the people on MTV Cribs had invested in timeless statement furniture and decor instead of Bentleys and a fridge full of energy drinks? You’d get Better With Age, a peek inside the homes of notable designers and tastemakers who share a love of all things pre-loved. ⁠

Our twenty-first episode features Alithea Castillo and Kim Tin, queer Asian immigrants, directors, photographers, and videographers in New York. They founded their company, @OfBecomingUs in 2021 out of their passion for making content together. Their client list includes Calvin Klein, Tiffany, and Thom Browne, among other top brands.

Check out their Queens, NY apartment, with a mix of wooden, mid-century modern furniture with playful, postmodern pieces and homages to Althea’s Filipino heritage to create a balanced and unique style.
