Axel Vervoordt's intense curiosity has fuelled 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 photographs from Japan and Korea, to Belgium and Switzerland, Vervoordt invites us to explore the elements that inspire him. Today, together with architect Tatsuro Miki, Vervoordt carries the principles of Wabi into his interiors.
