Pressestimmen
"Legendary Belgium antiquarian and art collector Axel Vervoordt’s interiors represent some of the most coveted rooms from layered and luxurious to monastic and minimal, reflecting the influence he derived from the Buddhist principle of “contradiction.” In Wabi Inspirations (Flammarion) Vervoordt, a student of Zen, gives his personal take on an ascetic developed in the twelfth century that advocates simplicity, authenticity, and imperfection. Vervoordt, working with Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki, uses natural materials to maximum effect as brilliantly seen in 350 dazzling color illustrations." ~VANDM.com
Kurzbeschreibung
Interior design guru Axel Vervoordt shares his latest inspirations for the home. Axel Vervoordt’s intense curiosity has fueled his work as an interior designer, spurring him to explore and draw inspiration from cultures around the globe. He was first exposed to Eastern art and philosophy years ago, but today it has become the guiding principle in his work, particularly the concept of Wabi. Developed in the twelfth century, Wabi advocates simplicity and humility, the rejection of all that is superfluous or artificial. Through extraordinary photographs from Japan and Korea to Belgium and Switzerland, Vervoordt invites us to explore the elements that inspire him: natural materials and time-worn objects that evoke the essence of Wabi. Today, together with the Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki, Vervoordt carries the principles of Wabi into his remarkable interiors. As Vervoordt reveals how he infuses his current creations with a fundamentally oriental approach, interiors devotees will gain new insight from this tribute to the designer’s latest sources of inspiration for the home.

Pretty Book, Awful Content - Unless You Are A Millionaire!
13. April 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
First, this book is constructed of beautiful materials. The paper weight and texture are amazing and of finest quality. The photographs are beautifully reproduced and are essentially the best part of this book. The text itself is awful, and could benefit from the heavy hand (red pen) of an editor. All the pages of text could be condensed--removing all trite phrases and zen-style attempts at platitudes--into perhaps two meaningful paragraphs. This volume is the absolute height of pretense and artifice.
In the modern world of everyday people, wabi-sabi is a concept that can be used to improve our lives. Wabi-sabi is a concept originating from Japan which stresses three important values for objects surrounding us: Impermanence, Imperfection, and the Incomplete. Before this book came out, I had never seen the first word used alone. Wabi means essentially "humble," and is the absolute wrong title for the book and its concepts. The book shows pictures of generally empty lodges, tea houses, and retreats--and these dwellings are invariably set on a lake front, or next to the ocean, or feature a stunning view of the Alps through its unadorned window. Space--affording a house (or chalet, or loft) and then keeping it empty save perhaps a stack of rocks or one vase--is the ultimate luxury in this world. This book purports to idolize that which is humble: A retreat on the side of the mountain, where guests are made to pad single file across the grounds and then step into the tea house. But a European retreat, its grounds, and associated tea house are a mark of unattainable luxury! So too are two barns featured in this book. Both barns make their way to Europe; but one of them is commissioned and built in Japan first.
The next time -you- have a barn designed, commissioned, and built in another country--and then have it shipped to your estate in Belgium--I suggest you reach for this book, because it provides some ideas for how to furnish it [one wingback chair, one roughly-hewn porcelain water vessel; done!]. The rest of us without millions in discretionary funds will simply select and use companion objects that contain and reflect the cherished values of wabi-sabi for our meager, normal, average lives. One need not be a millionaire (or billionaire) to enjoy them.

flawless concept but inappropriate quality
7. April 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
It's a really inspirational book and is a must have for worshippers of Axel Vervoordt. The concept, layout and texts are perfect. I gave 4 stars for this book only for one reason - publishers didn't consider the quality of paper - all the photos on this paper loose most of details and look too dark. It's really upseting because in minimalistic interiors each of details and textures of materials are important.

modern wabi sabi
5. März 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
its a kind of book i enjoy to have it in my library. it goes right beside the books like "the new zen" and similar about japanese minimalistic principle that existed the for at least 500years. the pictures are beautiful in their beuty and exposing the right way the principle of japanese wabi-sabi. the beauty all around us that we might never see it without even reading about wabi-sabi. anyway, is not an easy task to express wabi-sabi in art, graphic design and interior design, but in this book stuff are as they must be.
only negative thing i might say that some photos are very dark for my personal taste. otherwise im glad i take a risk to buy this book!!! oh the paper of the book are not glossy or something expensive, its wabisabi paper! another great detail of how this book was concieved and designed. for those who like books like "the new zen", "wabisabi for poets, designers..", "minimalism" by john pawson and similar, this book should not missed in your library.
