Summary: Timeless, liberating ideas on design
Comment: Magazine images of Wolf's designs have stopped me in my tracks for years, so buying his book was a no-brainer. And it was definitely a worthwhile investment. Wolf's conversational prose and beautiful photographs certainly help readers "see" the thinking behind his rooms. But the book is really an invitation to develop your own eyes and ideas, and then feel at home with them -- literally. Plenty of helpful suggestions and tips are offered, but no rules or forumlas. "Learning to See" is unconventional design wisdom for the 21st century. Read it -- and keep.

Summary: Vicente Wolf raises the bar for all future design books
Comment: Long an admirer of Vicente Wolf's work, his new book has given me a very personal understanding of what I have so enjoyed looking at all these years. On a journey that begins in Vicente's childhood years in Cuba and ends in the light drenched, white walled, loft space that is his home, we learn how he sees space, form, color and light. We learn why he sees things as he does and how his work is always touched by his own internal struggle between being a Cuban exile and a design professional. My struggle is only that I am torn as I go through the book trying to decide which is more extraordinary; the clean simplistic beauty of his projects or the amazing clarity and depth of his photographs. I hope that all who wish to see and understand the work of such a talented designer and artist will add this book to thier libray.

Summary: LEARN TO SEE
Comment: Yes, this is Vicente Wolf's vision, and not mine. Where he uses white and beige I use red and brown. I did, however, learn to see. This book is not about learning to decorate. What this man can do with a candlestick, a bowl, a whatnot and a tray is incredible. This book may not change the way I decorate my house in terms of paint and drapes, but it has changed the way I view my "things" and how I arrange them to convey their beauty and importance to me. Look past the beige! Reviewers, take another look at your book.
