What is best interior designers
Who is Alex Vervoordt? World Famous Interior Designer to the Stars | Art of Style Documentary | M2M
I always liked lovely things since I was
a child I didn't even know the word
collecting but I would collect beautiful
stones I would find or even beautiful
flowers I think for the beginning I lost
very humble things and there's the way
of life living with beautiful things and
make of every moment of the day a feast
even if it's very simple I'm not the
real collector who wants to possess I
really first of all want to give things
a better place we're not seeing objects
I don't think it's just the beauty
because when it's just only beautiful I
find a bit superficial I think the
spirit of the object attracts me more
I think out opens your eyes from the
beginning it definitely has been an
evolution my mother she was a master of
dressing beautiful tables with face
simple things and she preferred my
father brought beautiful butterflies
from the meadows rather than big long
roses from a flower shop
they wanted to small cozy house but this
small house my mother changed every
three months and like my mother's change
the house I changed my room all the time
my father was a horse dealer he loved
horses
the could hear halls he would know was a
good horse all of the bad was I still
write horses every day if I can but I
don't have the same feeling for horses
my father had so I thought I need to
study to make money enough to be a good
collector that was 14 and I went to
England and everywhere our fast is
nothing for sale can I go look at your
attic and I already discovered amazing
things and I came back on the boat with
tables on my shoulders and bags with
silver and a painting I always think
it's fascinating to buy something
forgotten and to give it new life 21st
century me is a sense of recuperation
there's no space anymore to know for us
enough to make new no no rocks enough to
make new I think we have to make new
things that exists already
these are beautiful 16th century Spanish
panels we still have to make a table of
it it's not decided yet it's quite
beautiful as it is we don't cut at all
believe it totally genuine the old is
like sacred we don't touch we just add
okay with antiques I love to design like
panels that are 16th century and if we
turn that one it needs 300 years to make
that panel it's impossible to imitate
it's unique for me they had the most
beautiful contemporary 21st century
abstract art made by time
the castle existed since 1108 and it had
not been on the market since 1729 with
my wife made we came from the light for
the landscape the nature so once a
thousand years old so you can never
really possess it and I felt myself like
I was called by the castle to work for
it we just took our own earth from here
and we painted with earth mixed with
lime the walls the wood is from here the
walls are from here and so it's
connected quietness respect positive
energy all these are very important
qualities in home simplicity is the
ultimate sophistication and proportion
is very important
I think a house should have different
expressions when architect is too
beautiful into perfect you don't want to
put anything in it I think in a home
it's nice to have both to have full
rooms and empty rooms we have clients
all over the world
I loved that I can be useful helping
them to feel the quality of this way of
life it's about balance
I think the house should be long first
of all to the place where it is and then
I think it should belong to the people
are gonna live in it hello you know
people who love glittering gold won't
come here I'm most fascinated by
something very old a luge a contemporary
of a contemporary that looks the old
Indian eyes it's looking for the
timeless this acidity panel gonna pair
up tempo so the last people talk that's
more Universal but a sponsor she is here
you know La Jolla means ontraport
[Music]
in 95 with all the workshops and all the
people working the castle became too
small so we were looking for in
industrial place and it once has soft
sale that first building of Canal and I
was so in love with it and bought it
immediately
there was the big central building the
round building in concrete outside in
the middle the where all the grains came
in from there the grains were dispatched
over all the other buildings for the
living areas we worked with four
different architects it gives the
feeling of a village and for the museum
part I worked with a friend Japanese
artist with whom I do many projects it's
all based on sacred geometry every door
every room every volume and do you feel
that energy and I think it gives
abstract art a much more spiritual
approach and I think my dream was to
make it like the Menil family did not go
Chapel I think I would like to have
Chapel of universal peace
and people are silent
what's interesting with this piece
banished Kippur you feel emptiness it's
not only spiritual source of physical
I like the combination of the art of
living and also the sacred part of
looking at us
it only has value if you can share it
and it can inspire other people
we're now making a book about our
collection but for me the essence of
thing I feel that the art is my teacher
I think the idea of the art the teachers
their managers your life that's what
this book is about exactly it's not
about only and I realize it's not it's
just like it's a like it's a lot about
giving things a better place but that
you cannot say from my own collection
things like not place is the best
and somebody asked you it customs what's
your profession I never know what to
write
I think I'm mainly our dealer but I
think it's a name that just doesn't suit
me completely I like to be creative as
well
[Music]
in my mind I want to be very free person
and I want to be ready to shake my mind
every day and I want to be open-minded
they're definitely not dogmatic
every time on every trip since I was a
child I was was buying with my heart
with my feeling with my intuition and
even now if I'm in front of an important
work of art I want to be like a fishbone
baby who knows nothing sometimes I take
off my glasses and just want to feel the
energy it's much more what you feel than
about what you see
[Music]
you
