Axel Vervoordt: Timeless Interiors by Armelle Baron and Christian Sarramon
Another gorgeous coffee table book on interiors! Axel Vervoordt began his career as an art and antiques dealer in the late 1960s, when he meticulously renovated a narrow street with sixteen of the oldest houses in Antwerp. In 1986, his company moved to a castle near Antwerp. Axel Vervoordt’s company grew rapidly in this castle and he became a major collector and decorator. The foundation of Vervoordt’s style is his commitment to making the past a relevant part of today’s design. Now the extent of Vervoordt’s talent is revealed in the unique atmosphere of the twenty-three houses presented in this book…lovely.
