Vicente Wolf Vicente Wolf Associates, NYC The moment you knew you were going to be part of the design world. I obviously went through a door into my career as a designer long before I realized that I had gone through it. Design books everyone should have in their library. David Hicks books on bathrooms and pattern, Jean-Michel Frank and Billy Baldwin books … and, of course, my new book Creative Interior Solutions (Rizzoli; April 2023). The first important piece you acquired. I've gotten the gold ring so many times, I don't remember which was my first meaningful purchase. I do recall that when I purchased my vintage Rolex, it was at a point in my life that I felt that I deserved it. You collect. Chairs, black-and-white photography, Tibetan ceremonial shell horns and dorjes plants, XL T-shirts, and travel memories. Museums you love. The West Wing of the National Gallery of Art in D.C.; Iran National Jewels Museum in Tehran; and, of course, The Met. Home scent. Fig. Personal fragrance. Goutal Gardénia Passion. Movie you love because of the design elements. Funny Face. Benjamin Moore color you gravitate to. Super White. I like white backgrounds. Second home. A beach house in Montauk, New York. Next for you. My 4 o'clock appointment. Stan Dixon D. Stanley Dixon Architect, Atlanta When you knew you were going to be part of the design and architecture worlds. I have loved all design aspects of personal homes since I can remember. This led me to architecture school, and I'm doing now what I honestly have always wanted to do: being part of the overall collaborative process creating places for people to live their lives. Design books everyone should have in their library. David Adler, Sir Edwin Lutyens, Philip T. Schutze, John Saladino, Gil Schafer. First important piece you bought. A lithograph of a classical draped torso when I was studying abroad in college. It's hanging in my office today. You collect … I am a very eclectic collector! Museums you love. Petworth House and Park, National Trust, West Sussex; Palazzo Fortuny, Venice; Dumbarton Oaks, Georgetown. Home scent. Diptyque candles. Personal fragrance. None.
