From interior design icon Vicente Wolf, an inspirational guide for home decorators to designing unforgettable spaces based on the four natural elements. Based on Vicente Wolf’s belief that the classical elements—earth, water, air, and fire—form the basic building blocks of great interior design, the book is divided into four sections.

Also, this is yet another book in a long line of mediocre design books published by Rizzoli. And it seems to me that in his first book an
