Handcrafted Modern

The first time she came by the shop, Leslie took one look at Tripp's 13'-long table running down the center of the room and told us about her incredible photography project that was about to hit the world. Man, what a whopper it turned out to be.

Leslie photographed the homes of fourteen influential mid-century architects and designers, including Wharton Esherick's handmade, cubby-having staircase, J.B. Blunk's ultraMarin-style bathroom, and Charles & Ray Eames's textile-filled conversation pit. Far beyond the classic architectural photographs that have been taken previously, her photos offer an intimate and inspiring look at these private spaces, rich with the details of daily life that went on to inform the designers' work. These are images to match the extraordinary beauty of the spaces depicted.
