Wabi Inspirations by Axel Vervoordt (Hardcover)
Meet the Wabi Inspirations by Axel Vervoordt, a deeply personal exploration of the philosophy that has come to define his work. Guided by an enduring curiosity and shaped by decades of studying Eastern art and thought, Vervoordt reflects on the essence of wabi—a sensibility rooted in simplicity, humility, and the quiet beauty of the imperfect.
Through evocative photography spanning Japan and Korea to Belgium and Switzerland, this volume reveals the materials, textures, and time-worn objects that inform his interiors. Natural elements and aged surfaces come together to express a refined stillness, where nothing is excessive and everything carries meaning.
Created in collaboration with Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki, this work offers an intimate look into how the principles of wabi continue to shape Vervoordt’s timeless, contemplative spaces.
