The sum of a designer's life Axel Vervoordt is a collector and curator, antiquarian, interior architect and designer and presents the sum of a designer's life in his new book. In this magnificently furnished volume, Michael Gardner takes us through eighteen apartments and penthouses designed and furnished by Axel Vervoordt in Tokyo, London, Moscow and New York, among others, or through houses in the countryside in Surrey and New England, on the Atlantic and the Baltic Sea, and through Wabi-style farmhouse and a wine château in Bordelais. The portraits of each of these homes - including the Vervoordts' own homes in Venice and Belgium - not only offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes, but above all invite a tour of the interiors. Every detail - from the materials used to the placement of a chosen object - testifies to Vervoordt's principle that a home should be an oasis that promotes well-being and joy and instills a spirit of generosity and kindness. The Belgian “master of staging” is famous worldwide for his timelessly elegant style
