"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."
