Michael Wolk's Top inCollect Picks: Style and Influence
Michael Wolk turned to his Gables Estate project in Miami as a source of inspiration for this collection. The renowned mid-twentieth century architect Florence Knoll designed the classic Miami home, which over the decades saw numerous renovations and eventually disrepair. A new owner called on Wolk to undertake a thorough renovation of the house, which he did after careful research to uncover Knoll’s plans for the original structure. What emerged was a Gables Estate home that reflected the spirit and style of the original house, updated for today’s living. Known for his collections of classic contemporary furniture designs, Wolk furnished the rooms of the house using many pieces from his own collections -- a perfect fit given the house’s very special provenance. Wolk browsed InCollect and selected objects that he felt would be an asset to the Knoll-designed home. On a personal note, Wolk grew up aspiring to many of the designers featured in his collection.
