☆ His Father Built a Design Empire. Now It’s His Turn.

BEFORE THE BELGIAN design impresario Axel Vervoordt could face down the matter of his succession, one question kept nagging at him: Who would come live in the castle? A short drive from Antwerp, the early-12th-century fortress has been Vervoordt’s home since 1984, when he and his wife, May, bought it from 42 descendants of a family that had owned it since 1728. As it evolved from a proving ground for his esoteric tastes into a hub for experimentation, Kasteel van ’s-Gravenwezel became an essential part of his global enterprise—a kind of turreted display case for the ancient objects and modern art that Vervoordt sells to private clients around the world.

‘Owning a piece of happiness’The first moon jars were created in the royal kilns in Gwangju (a city just outside Seoul, not the larger southern city of the same name) from 1650 to 1750. A modern-day moon jar made by South Korean potter Kwon Dae Sup, who said: "To appreciate a moon jar properly, you should look beyond its simple shape. He works out of a studio in Gwangju, where the royal kilns that produced moon jars were once located. Moon Duk Gwan/Axel Vervoordt GalleryKwon Dae Sup lifts a large moon jar into a kiln.

☆ Fierce Competition and Lychee Martinis at an Underground Mahjong Club
  + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( Jason Chen | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The idea for an office mahjong league came unexpectedly to Bella Janssens, the director of the architectural design firm Food New York, which has collaborated with Virgil Abloh, Axel Vervoordt and Manhattan’s Museum of Modern Art. Though it originated in China in the 19th century, mahjong has long been popular throughout Southeast Asia, Japan and America; it was brought stateside by a Standard Oil company representative returning from Shanghai in the 1920s. Wong, who was born and raised in San Diego, had a typical second-generation immigrant’s relationship to mahjong. (His parents are from Hong Kong.) “I played it once, probably with my grandparents and great-aunts, and my memory was that I won that game,” he says, “and only 30 years later did I realize they were probably just [messing] with me.”
