Axel Vervoordt began purchasing antiques in his teens and has steadily built a v
ast collection of exquisite objects from around the world. He is renowned for hi
s prestigious exhibitions at major world antique fairs, including the New York D
esign Fair and TEFAF Maastricht. His interior designs, in both traditional and m
odern settings around the world, combine antiques from all continents with a Zen
sensuality, and they blend the old with the new to create harmonious interiors.
His unusual pairings may include Chinese porcelain with English furniture or a
Roman relic alongside a 1930s Flemish painting.
The extent of Vervoordt's talen
t is revealed in the twenty-three homes in Europe and the United States presente
d here through Christian Sarramon's photographs. The variety of styles reflects
Vervoordt's eclecticism, and his authentic and welcoming interiors are inspirati
onal treasure troves. From the rustic charm of a Swiss chalet to the classic fin
esse of a Bordeaux chƒteau to the modern allure of a Miami mansion, Vervoordt's
creations are perfectly in tune with the character and history of each space.
