Vicente has been designing Saatva Mattress showrooms across the country. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, they crafted this video citing his interior design philosophy interwoven with images of his creative process. In a career spanning 50 years, the Cuban-born interior designer has built his legacy from the ground up and shows no signs of slowing down. Here is their homage to Vicente In honor of #HispanicHeritageMonth.
Wolf was delighted to add his interior design vision to Saatva’s NY flagship store on December 4, 2019 (as well as the upcoming opening of their Washington DC and Los Angeles locations). The Viewing Room, as they call, “is a sensory experience that represents what Saatva stands for,” said designer Vicente Wolf. “When you enter, it’s about evoking a dream-like experience as customers meander through the space and discover the beds.” With a nod to the warmth and drama of an upscale emporium, Vicente Wolf Associates designed a space that has a whimsical, dreamlike quality. Without the harsh fluorescent lighting employed by other mattress companies, Vicente incorporated a sophisticated, neutral palette of taupe and grays wrapped in a surreal landscape, guests are swept away to explore and experience Saatva’s full range of luxury sleep products. Design elements include, a stair sculpture built into the wall, large Greek urn, two silvery ‘fantasy trees,’ striking recessed ceiling cutouts that evoke the sky and several distinctive seating arrangements interwoven between bed displays in various settings. Shoppers experience an environment that, by design, will evoke a restful ambiance. Visit their flagship NY viewing room to see Vicente’s work.

What They Said About Me
For decades, Vicente Wolf has been at the top of the interior design world, known for his inspired residential, hospitality, and commercial interior design. He has perfected the vocabulary of modern design with a strong reference to the past. When he is not guiding his design team, he takes photographs, gardens, attends the theater, visits museums, and travels to remote corners of the world.
“Vicente is a delightful combination of funny and dead-pan, hard-working yet an escapist, political and unconscious, political and concerned – all mixed into a Latino interior and covered in a shell of New York sophistication.”

The Viewing Room, as they call it “is a sensory experience that represents what Saatva stands for,” said designer Vicente Wolf. “When you enter, it’s about dreaming. As a self-guided space, it invites consumers to use the information stations to self-educate and make a purchase that permits them to sleep soundly.” -Vicente Wolf
I was delighted to add my vision to the recently-opened SAATVA flagship “Viewing Room” location on 3rd Avenue and 58th Street in NYC’s Design District. With a nod to the warmth and drama of an upscale emporium combined with Grecian imagery, I designed a space that has a whimsical, dreamlike quality. By incorporating a sophisticated palette of taupes and grays wrapped in a surreal landscape, guests are swept away to explore and experience Saatva’s full range of luxury sleep products. Elements include, a stair sculpture built into the wall, large Greek urn, two silvery ‘fantasy trees,’ striking recessed ceiling cutouts that evoke the sky and several distinctive seating arrangements interwoven between bed displays in various settings. Shoppers experience an environment that, by design, will evoke a restful ambiance. The iPads and information stations throughout the space allow guests to interact with Saatva’s collection at their own pace, with trained Sleep Guides available to assist and answer questions.
