“word to the wise” wednesday: vicente wolf

Shape matters, especially in white, uncluttered rooms. I like to take a piece of furniture and isolate it to reveal its form.  But you have to make sure it merits the attention.  In a stark, simple room, the burden of proof falls on the furniture.  You want the pieces to combust with energy in a contained explosion of style.

— Vicente Wolf (as quoted in his book, Learning to See)
