Vicente Wolf

Wolf‘s projects promote high-tech minimalism. Architectural Digest calls him “an undisputed minimalist master.” – it’s a label he rejects. He defines himself as “a combination of sarcastic and sweet, funny and dead-pan, hard-working yet an escapist, political and unconscious, politically incorrect and concerned all mixed into a Latino interior and covered in a shell of New York (sophistication)”. While Wolf admires works of Karl Lagerfeld and Philippe Starck, what truly inspires him are his experiences as a traveler. Numerous hotels (Lorien Hotel & Spa in Alexandria, Virginia), cafés (Café Rodeo in Beverly Hills) and restaurants (Alto restaurants in New York City) can be found among Wolf’s projects. Accommodations designed by him are scattered all over the world in France, Israel, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Sweden.

Owner of opened in 1999 VW Home, an interior design store, Wolf has executed projects for Ralph Pucci, Ann Sachs, Baccarat and Tufenkian. The store itself sells rare and hand-picked antiques for connoisseurs, shipped from, inter alia, Europe, Asia and Africa – it is a reflection of Wolf’s love for travels. Available for purchase, there are also home décor accessories, designed by Wolf himself, with stylish silverware, lighting and mirrors, often custom made for clients. In 2008 Wolf has expanded his business by opening VW Home Design, an interior design company, which incorporates products from VW Home store into projects.
