"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 château 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."--Publisher.
