“For Wabi in itself is timeless—without a past, present, or future.
And through its wisdom it creates a heightened consciousness of space, emptiness, and silence.
Above all this journey has led me to a heightened sense of freedom.
For the most profound thing I have learned is that eternity exists in each and every moment.”
–Axel Vervoordt, introduction to Wabi Inspirations
“Wabi is the refinement of simplicity, a rustic elegance, a nobility without sophistication, beauty brought back to its true nature. Wabi spirit introduces the concept of infinity into our daily lives into a very personal way. ...”
“Contrary to the idea of infinity recognized in the West this is not something out of reach to most people, instead it is present in every living moment in every human being...”
“For every one of us has the ability to see the universe in a simple bowl of tea, or in a flower, or in a small tip of wood.” –Tatsuro Miki, epilogue to Wabi Inspirations
“With their soft light and sparse interiors these spaces become sanctuaries. But it is the vividness of textures that really makes you want to run your hand over the photographs. Or just live in them.” –Eugene Rabkin, Planet Mag
“Axel Vervoordt... over the past four decades has come to be regarded as one of the most original and influential figures in art and design. His aesthetic draws from different cultures and historical period, but it is remarkably accessible.” –Telegraph Magazine
“Fourteen interiors are explored ... each one accompanied by text that reads almost as poetry.” –Home & Garden
“[This] gorgeous book is an important photographic document, since, despite wabi-sabi’s popularity, there is a dearth of its visual representation.” –Planet Mag
