The book is a testament to the way a natural palette can elevate and enrich an interior space, illustrated through a series of private family homes where, Vervoordt says, ‘even when the design is minimal, there is warmth.’” “ Portraits of Interiors … celebrates 50 years of a design ethos that sees the home as an oasis fostering a sense of wellbeing. It’s a beautiful book that is a call to action for designers and architects, art collectors, and design lovers.” - The Style Saloniste “Axel Vervoordt: Portraits of Interiors, newly published by Flammarion is one of the most exciting new fall season design and architecture books. “Consider this lavish hardback tome beyond the average coffee table topper.” - Hollywood Reporter Whether used in a Tokyo apartment or a New England mansion, the designer’s signature interiors are always light-filled, modern and compelling." - FORBES.COM

His latest book features 18 standout residences (two of which are his own), among them a converted 17th-century military barrack complete with its own Japanese minka." - GALERIE MAGAZINE "Master of minimalism Axel Vervoordt has been crafting refined interiors for half a century, along the way snapping up A-list clients including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. 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. 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. 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. From a Swiss chalet to a Miami mansion or a Bordeaux chateau, Vervoordt's creations are perfectly in tune with the character and history of each space.Seventeen homes demonstrate how Axel Vervoordt incorporates nature, art, and timeless interiors to create living spaces that encourage self-reflection, inspiration, and happiness.įor 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.
