Four design firms dish on the importance
of creating comprehensive experiences
for diners
Vicente
There are few people in the design industry-or anywhere,
for that matter-who have lived as many lives as
Vicente Wolf. A Cuban immigrant, who never had formal
education beyond high school, Wolf worked at many jobs
across all social and economic categories until he found
his place in the design world.
For the past four decades he's become known for creations
and venues that range from private residences to public
spaces, hotels, restaurants, and resorts around the world.
Some of his work includes restaurants for Wynn Hotels and
MGM Grand; guest rooms at the Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel
in Beverly Hills; the Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey
City, New Jersey; offices of Arista Records; and high-end
residential projects such as Manhattan House in New York
and a luxury apartment complex in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Wolf
At the turn of the century, Wolf opened his retail outlet
VW Home in a Manhattan loft showroom, where he
makes furnishings and artifacts available to designers and
design enthusiasts alike. He also is an avid art collector
and passionate photographer, teaches an annual course
through Parsons School of Design in the Dominican
Republic, and has published five books. He has been
honored as part of Architectural Digest's AD 100 and Elle
Décor's A-List, named one of House Beautiful's 10 most
influential designers in the United States, and inducted
into Interior Design magazine's Hall of Fame.
Wolf lives in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan with Misha,
his cat, and has a beach house in Montauk, on the easternmost
tip of Long Island, where i+D reached him one
morning recently.
