In this book, celebrated AD100 designer Vicente Wolf shares the expertise he has honed over forty successful years in the business for the first time. Wolf s work is characterized by a passion for integrity and simplicity; a sophisticated sense of space, color, and ease; masterful handling of furniture, fabrics, and art; and the use of rare antiques and exceptional handcrafted pieces (many acquired on annual globe-trotting voyages). This new volume distills his knowledge into wide-ranging and easily applicable recommendations. Organized topically and illustrated with Wolf s own photographs, the design principles are engaging, absorbing, and above all practical from coping with the challenges inherent in life transitions to overcoming space and budget limitations to working with art and other collections and remaking outdated spaces. The book also includes an in-depth look at Wolf s own loft in New York City and how he designs for himself. Unusual in its down-to-earth, sensible approach, filled with lessons and takeaways, this book is that rare volume that will be as beautiful as it is useful.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Designer Vicente Wolf introduces his latest book Interior Creative Solutions (Rizzoli, $60). Known for his keen eye for color, fabrics and art, Wolf fills each page with decorating recommendations alongside his very own photographs.

"Creative Interior Solutions embodies themes of timeless visual culture. The book explores the interior designer's prolific body of work and provides practical design advice and inspiration. Wolf's own voice is intensely present throughout; his writing functions in conversation with the images and themes presented in the text, resulting in a logical and smooth reading experience. Wolf tells stories, recalls particular clients, and speaks with frank transparency about his practice and its history. The beauty of the book lies predominantly in this demystification of process. Readers are encouraged to deeply consider and understand how taste, style, and space can come together to create something beautiful. He sees design as an investment in one's comfort, productivity, and happiness. Vicente Wolf's "Creative Interior Solutions" does what it sets out to do and more, like Wolf himself. " -MUSEE MAGAZINE
