"The reception room at Kanaal is line with books devoted to Mr.
Vervoordt's vision as a dealer and decorator. In "Stories and
Reflections," he describes how the Japanese aesthetic of wabi
sums up his approach, embracing 'the spirit of thinking globally
and acting locally.' "
--The New York Times
"If there were ever anyone who could humble Kanye West, it would
be art dealer and interior designer Axel Vervoordt. In a recent
interview for The Hollywood Reporter, the two artists
exchanged ideas about the importance of proportions, the danger of
ego, and their respective attitudes toward the creative
process."
--Joyce Chen, Architectural Digest "As proved in new
autobiographical book Stories and Reflections, [Axel is] an
amusing and energetic raconteur. From a creative so esteemed for
his discreet interiors and Hollywood client list, the storytelling
twinkle in his eye indicates that Vervoordt is not to be
pigeon-holed."
