Portraits of Interiors

A home should be an oasis, a haven that fosters a sense of well-being and joy.

For a half-century, Axel Vervoordt—world-renowned interior design firm and art dealer—has drawn from diverse cultural traditions and eras to create singular homes all over the world. Today their projects feature a range of traditional, Wabi, and contemporary elements that are rooted in the past and connected to the future. This volume brings together seventeen residences—including their first work in Japan, Russia, and India—that range from urban penthouses in New York and London, to a Wabi barn in Flanders and a Venetian palazzo, to a coastal home in New England and an island retreat in Ibiza. Each home’s unique atmosphere inspires serenity and blends art, architecture, and nature in an alchemy of Vervoordt expression.
