Interior design guru Axel Vervoordt shares his latest inspirations for the home. Axel Vervoordt's intense curiosity has fueled his work as an interior designer, spurring him to explore and draw inspiration from cultures around the globe. He was first exposed to Eastern art and philosophy years ago, but today it has become the guiding principle in his work, particularly the concept of Wabi. Developed in the twelfth century, Wabi advocates simplicity and humility, the rejection of all that is superfluous or artificial. Through extraordinary photographs from Japan and Korea to Belgium and Switzerland, Vervoordt invites us to explore the elements that inspire him: natural materials and timeworn objects that evoke the essence of Wabi. Today, together with the Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki, Vervoordt carries the principles of Wabi into his remarkable interiors. As Vervoordt reveals how he infuses his current creations with a fundamentally oriental approach, interiors devotees will gain new insight from this tribute to the designer's latest sources of inspiration for the home.

So much information on how to make a cosy home
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2020Verified Purchase
Have been looking for a book like this for many years to help me how to make a comfortable restful home. If you are looking for a book with material images of cosy homes this is not the book for you. This book explains how to create a cosy home using all your senses and explains it is not about the latest style in material goods that makes a home bathos you look, think and feel about your home which will help you create a special place to live. Wonderful book have not read anything like it before need to take my time and re read. Changed how i looked and feel about my home and to understand how to make small changes to make it a home you want to come home to and just be you. Thank you so much.

calm and inspiring
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2011Verified Purchase
The book is nice. The paper, the book was printed on is sort of mat heavyweight paper, which can make impression that the pictures are quite dark.This is the only 'but'. Overall: beautiful book with loats of pictures of textures and materials. Very pleased. Thank you.
