Product Description
Axel Vervoordt began purchasing antiques in his teens and has steadily built a vast collection of exquisite objects from around the world. He is renowned for his prestigious exhibitions at major world antique fairs, including the New York Design Fair and TEFAF Maastricht. His interior designs, in both traditional and modern 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 talent is revealed in the twenty-three homes in Europe and the United States presented here through Christian Sarramon’s photographs. The variety of styles reflects Vervoordt’s eclecticism, and his authentic and welcoming interiors are inspirational treasure troves. From the rustic charm of a Swiss chalet to the classic finesse of a Bordeaux château to the modern allure of a Miami mansion, Vervoordt’s creations are perfectly in tune with the character and history of each space.

AS one designer to another, he is my Favorite Designer October 13, 2009
B. A. Christi (West coast, USA)
I love his mix of old, new, light and dark. I feel very connected to the earth and living in beauty that is not overdone. I myself, don't like a lot of little stuff you have to tend to, or too much clutter, and I find his work a perfect balance. Of course what designer wouldn't want to work with the 'bones' he gets to start with!

Vervoordt is simply the best. If you do not get his vision of how to decorate your interiors you are a looser. With regards, William

pretty well writtenbook. IT woud have been nice to see where his upholstered furniture is available in the US. If you don't want to purchase Kindle it is extremely difficult to see the interior of this book

The text may not be what some are looking for, as it is not a "how to" per se, but the superb photos of a the work of a rare talent speak for themselves. For those who draw inspiration from visuals, this book is for you. The subject residences and projects may often be stratospheric in provenance, but the ideas and concepts illustrated are easily adapted to any budget. This is not a book of luxury residences per se, but a book which visually delineates the design philosphy of a man and his team who have broken away from hackneyed design to give the world a fresh view of what elegance, comfort and atmosphere can be; indeed, as the title states, "timeless". Even if the book sits on a table, it will always be appreciated by the casual glance through, as well as the more careful study of the projects and ideas presented therein.
