Axel Vervoordt: Wabi Inspirations

The Belgian antiques dealer and designer on wabi, the twelfth-century Japanese idea of simplicity and humility, and how it now guides his interiors with the Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki. Natural materials and time-worn objects, photographed by Laziz Hamani from Japan and Korea to Belgium and Switzerland.

For the friend whose house is already quiet and considered, and who'd rather be given a book than another object.
