Accessorizing: Learning from a pro - Vicente Wolf

Part 4 of 4 Accessorizing your home<br /><br />I am intrigued by the designs of Vicente Wolf.   I've studied them as I study compositions by famous artists  in an effort to dissect  the lines of design, and the thought processes he engages in as he creates beautiful spaces.  In my opinion a good  design never looks too put together, too matched, but has  an effortless, collected feel. His always do.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp7yr3NeDpPkMoGhvq5r62RiU39fiRKQfmjp9R3_QgiqjjAIsJ3E3tS25f_U299CEIJB9YrysR4AQgjIaoPiYSCKonMvpp7r_PEZ36Cm97e3iOskBpZWbSKFq308ZvxwvDsxlAYGG9JIio/s1600/Wolf-antique-+table-modern+-chairs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I like how the  large ottoman (often a signature piece for Wolf) is the only pattern in the room.  It is also a way to move  circular shapes around  an otherwise rectangular space.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-QMi2k6xSe9Hk_lScgEfiBmOcV2U5G65nFC3ows3MgzlpVrAuyoG209LDnr7GY8XhRVcs9oZ9m1Jjsn3MX_N3fVqa6zdRygEbbTheco_mwjmI6x9ff3qPmr6qMzWuWFe-l5lFBBs5TlD/s1600/three+layered+tables.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right;"><img border="0" height="351" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-QMi2k6xSe9Hk_lScgEfiBmOcV2U5G65nFC3ows3MgzlpVrAuyoG209LDnr7GY8XhRVcs9oZ9m1Jjsn3MX_N3fVqa6zdRygEbbTheco_mwjmI6x9ff3qPmr6qMzWuWFe-l5lFBBs5TlD/s1600/three+layered+tables.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.vicentewolf.com/associates/residential/35">source</a></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Another idea for layering a table and an ottoman.
