Abstract

Lifestyle journalist Thijs Demeulemeester takes you on a trip through some iconic houses and the unique cars that match them in elegance of design and construction"Life is too short to drive boring cars." - Hanan Sobati, founder of Arabian Gazelles, the first female supercar club in the world "I only purchase and drive cars that represent thoughtful design, elegance and performance." - Frank Lloyd Wright This book about beautifully designed cars and international architecture has been curated with an eye for pure aesthetics. Although architecture and cars are theoretically miles apart, the sources of inspiration for their designers are often strikingly similar. Recalling a time when you could recognize an architect from his Saab or his Citroën DS, lifestyle journalist Thijs Demeulemeester shows that architects and luxury car makers are alike in their appreciation of elegance of design, attention to materials, and solid construction. This book takes you on a trip through some iconic houses and the unique cars that match them.

Abstract

This book is not an auction catalogue. It is a carnet de voyage - a travelogue about objects that once washed ashore in Gert Voorjans’s treasury but are now ready to continue their odyssey. Madeleine Castaing, Jacques Grange, Alberto Pinto, Carlos de Beistegui: many great interior designers before Voorjans auctioned the objects that passed through their hands. These collection pieces still bear their pedigree, but now tell different stories in new contexts. Voorjans also bids farewell to the collectibles, his companions de route for many years. In Collectibles, Voorjans allows us a generous insight into his universe. And what's more, he wants to pass on his collecting virus to a new generation of tastemaker for whom he has paved the way. The art, antiques and curiosities from his private collection are now ready to welcome and entertain someone new. Collectibles encapsulates the best of Gert Voorjans's personal collection of fascinating objects and artifacts spanning over 25 years.
