rich with detail." -New York Times Magazine
"Wouldn’t it be great if we could knock on people’s doors and prowl
through their homes for inspiration? Well, this collection of
intimate interior shots from iconic and unknown designers might be
the next best thing. It brilliantly captures how simple, sleek
designs can create beautiful spaces -- a nice reminder for those
who love to embellish." -MarthaStewart.com
"Photographer Leslie Williamson’s first book, Handcrafted Modern:
At Home with Midcentury Designers, pretty much has a permanent
place on most of our staffer’s coffee tables, so naturally we were
dying to get a look at her recently released follow-up, Modern
Originals: At Home with Midcentury European Designers. This new
book features the homes and studios of thirteen of Europe’s
most-celebrated and iconic designers, including Le Corbusier and
Alvar Aalto. Whether you’re mad for midcentury or not, the
masterfully composed and beautifully chronicled spaces are sure to
get your decorating juices flowing." -One Kings Lane
“…Modern Originals offers an intimate look at the homes and studios
of some of Europe’s best known designers…” –New York Times
