Vegas to Name Vicente Wolf 'Design Icon'
July 8, 2009
World Market Center Las Vegas and Las Vegas Design Center will honor design visionary Vicente Wolf of Vicente Wolf Associates Inc. as a "Design Icon" during the Fall Las Vegas Market, Sept. 14-17.
Wolf, a New York-based designer, whose wide-ranging portfolio includes photography, art collecting, interior design and global travel, will be recognized during The Design Icon seminar, 4 p.m., Sept. 16 in Building B, 16th floor. A question-and-answer session, reception and book signing, will follow.
House Beautiful named Wolf one of the 10 most influential designers in the United States, and Interior Design Magazine inducted him in its Designer Hall of Fame. Wolf joins the ranks of prominent past Design Icon recipients including Roger Thomas, Vladimir Kagan and Larry Laslo.
In addition to his design work, Wolf has published two books (Learning to See, Artisan, 2002; and Crossing Boundaries: A Global Vision of Design, Monacelli Press, 2006) and is currently planning a third, set to launch in 2010.
"When I do my work I don't think of the outside world ever seeing it," Wolf said. "Only when I receive an award like this do I realize that somebody is looking and appreciating what it is that we do at Vicente Wolf Associates."
At the Design Icon seminar, Wolf will share experiences as an interior designer over the last 35 years and his insights on how design has evolved. His talk will focus on the inspiration he draws from travels and photography. He took all of the photos featured in Crossing Boundaries himself and his photography has been published in many major magazines.
Wolf will also offer a glimpse into his third book, tentatively titled Lifting the Curtain on Design. He will incorporate facets of his new book into the presentation and will cover how he travels a minimum of three months out of every year to far-off countries, including the jungles of Borneo, the markets of Indonesia and Bangkok and Paris, to shop for his Manhattan showroom, VW Home.
In addition for being honored as a Design Icon, Wolf will participate in the exclusive "Ahead of the Curve" live Web cast during the September Las Vegas Market, set for Wednesday, Sept. 16, 8:00 a.m. in Building C, Showroom C-332 or via the Web.
