American design company Wolf-Gordon celebrates 50 years in business with its first book, a lively and visually stunning compendium of product design (wallcovering and textile design), creative projects, showrooms, and branded materials. The company is particularly known for its collaborations with international creative minds Laurinda Spear, Karim Rashid, Petra Blaisse on imaginatively patterned and coloured wallcovering. Wolf-Gordon has set itself apart in the industry ranked the #1 brand by readers of Contract Magazine with an approachable and informal yet relentlessly design-obsessed public presence. This attitude is evident in every item produced by the company, large or small, from a postcard announcing a new wallcovering collection to a 12-foot-long scarf made from over 70 upholstery samples to a 1,300-pound suspended sculpture at the Neocon trade fair. ‘Wolf-Gordon: Sample Book’ features more than 100 product designs (in more than 1,000 colourways); five themed presentations showcasing the astounding breadth of product- and communications-related materials developed by Wolf-Gordon; three articles on the company’s design perspective and process; and a fascinating first-person history of the company from its earliest days to the present. AUTHOR: American design company Wolf-Gordon, founded in 1967, has been putting design first for 50 years. In addition to a wide range of wallcoverings, Wolf-Gordon offers upholstery and drapery textiles, Scuffmaster paints, and Wink clear dry erase coating.
