Axel Vervoordt: Portraits of Interiors. Gardner J. M.

Аннотация к книге "Axel Vervoordt: Portraits of Interiors" Gardner J. M.:
Seventeen homes demonstrate how Axel Vervoordt incorporates nature, art, and timeless interiors to create living spaces that encourage self-reflection, inspiration, and happiness.
For a half century, Axel Vervoordt's vision has been defined by a continual quest for harmony, beauty, and the creation of interior atmospheres that are rooted in the past, connected to the future, and imbued with today's comforts. These eighteen residences--from an urban New York penthouse or Moscow apartment to a waterfront estate in New England, and from a Tokyo dwelling to a Bordeaux wine chвteau or a Wabi-Sabi farmhouse — reveal how art complements architecture and the elements of nature in an alchemy of Vervoordt expression. Portraits of each residence — including the Vervoordts' own homes in Venice and Belgium — feature sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape and a tour through the interiors. Each detail — from the materials used to the graceful placement of a well-chosen object — offers deep insight into the Vervoordt design approach and abiding principles for living and working well.
