I was instantly drawn to pictures of the Amsale Aberra's New York loft - all white and bathed in light, it seemed like the perfect retreat. Looking closer, I could see even more why I loved it - the unmistakable mark of Vicente Wolf. My little love affair with Vicente is hardly a secret, I love how he is able to incorporate gorgeous artifacts and art from across the globe in a thoughtful and meaningful way, while still maintaining a clean, open space. Far too often attempts to incorporate these objects run a high risk of looking out of place or looking too much like a curio shop. Vicente blends them seamlessly.
For Amsale, getting Vicente's design input was simple enough - he's her neighbour! Together they've created a space that I feel really reflects her - an all white space, with even the floors painted with Benjamin Moore's Super White, seems a perfect fit for a wedding gown designer (!), and beautiful, thoughtful photographs, masks and other art from Amsale's native Ethiopia.
With neighbours like these, who needs friends? :)
