Lifting the Curtain on Design1891 руб
These principles, each fundamental to the practice of design, provide the framework for interior designer Vicente Wolf’s engaging new book. Simplify, Connect, Expand. Lifting the Curtain on Design delves into his selected themes from myriad viewpoints: through the prism of international travel, via the detailed focus on a single project, and finally by means of the sweeping perspective of a seasoned design mind. Wolf is famous for his modern and elegant style, always guided by integrity and simplicity. In this volume, illustrated entirely with his own photographs, he recounts a trip to Namibia: with its sand dunes and sunsets, this southern African country is “a landscape that has been reduced to its essence. Wolf, an inveterate voyager, leaves his New York studio once a year to immerse himself in the culture of a distant land. And Bhutan is a lesson in expanding horizons and experiences. ” A journey to Papua New Guinea makes clear the connections between cultures, as well as the connections that may be fostered through skilled design. In a step-by-step account of two recent interiors—a traditional apartment and an open loft—Wolf describes his initial design process, the various phases of construction, the expert selection of color palettes and furniture, and the final installation of art and decorative objects. It is in Wolf’s design that the essence of his three principles, suggested in his travels, is fully illuminated. Finally, a dazzling presentation of Wolf’s current projects touches on grand design gestures and minute yet indispensable details. He also explains the development of the dramatic tablescapes for which he is so well known, which balance style, form, and color with humor and ease. Lifting the Curtain on Design offers a glimpse into the mind of the designer at work, from inspiration through implementation to unforgettable finished room
