Very Good+ hardcover in pictorial paper. Slight cocking to spine, minor wear to tips and head with small bump to tail, and pink dotted printing error to pg.71, not affecting text. 256 pp. Includes full-color reproductions of the atmospheric photographs Laziz Hamani took of Vervoordt's designs inspired by an idea from Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi. Stunning monograph printed on matte paper that provides wonderful contrasts for the images of Belgian designer and curator, Axel Vervoordt's work, complete with contributions by architect and frequent collaborator, Tatsuro Miki. From the back panel: "Elegance in natural materials, nobility without sophistication, timelessness within tradition: these are the principles that define Axel Vervoordt's personal take on the concept. In this book, he reveals his interiors that are inspired by Wabi, showing readers how to create calm, peaceful spaces in which beauty is distilled to its purest form."
