Interior design guru Axel Vervoordt reveals his latest inspirations for your own home. Intense curiosity has fueled his work as an interior designer, leading him to explore cultures around the globe and draw inspiration from them. Years ago, he came into contact with Eastern art and philosophy, which have now become the leitmotif of his work, especially the concept of wabi.
Developed in the 12th century, Wabi advocates simplicity and modesty, the rejection of anything superfluous or artificial. With extraordinary photographs from Japan and Korea, Belgium and Switzerland, Vervoordt invites us to discover the elements that inspire him: natural materials and ancient objects that reflect the essence of Wabi.
Today, Vervoordt collaborates with Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki to implement the principles of Wabi in his remarkable interiors. Vervoordt reveals how he infuses his current creations with a fundamentally Oriental approach, and interior design lovers will gain new insights through this tribute to the designer's latest sources of inspiration for their homes.
