Axel Vervoordt

INTERIOR Website Instagram

A home should be a personal expression of your soul. It should represent the way you want to live, the ideas that define your tastes, perspectives, and connections to the world.

As one of the most important fashion trendsetters in the world, Axel Vervoordt is active in art, galleries, interior design and more. He is a well-known collector, antique dealer, interior designer and curator. In the field of design, he was perhaps the most knowledgeable of wabi-sabi in the whole West. All that was broken, old and broken was another realm of beauty for him. In his eyes, the high aesthetics must be "pure" and "simple".

Axel Vervoordt, 74, is a portly man with an elegant manner. You can always see his serene smile on his face. In 1947, Axel Vervoordt was born in Antwerp, Belgium. In the atmosphere of an art family, he created a lifelong pursuit of art. He continues to explore the field of art and design, and has a philosophical influence on contemporary design.

Back in the 1970s, Axel Vervoordt shaped his worldview on a personal journey of architectural practice. He has a deep resonance with the architecture of Buddhist art, while zen philosophy has a profound influence on his design. True beauty, he thought, was imperfect, incomplete and impermanent -- in other words, as fleeting as life. This is what he really knew about wabi-sabi.

The interior is simple, natural and intimate and rustic, which brings people a relaxing and comfortable feeling.
