Handcrafted Modern

At Moosewood, we’re inspired by people who make things with their hands and their hearts. Handcrafted Modern is a celebration of that way of living. In this beautifully photographed book, Lesle Williamson invites us into the homes and studios of artists, designers, and makers who blend modern aesthetics with traditional craft.

Williamson’s storytelling highlights a shared set of values we hold dear: care, intention, and a respect for materials and process. The spaces she features are personal and purposeful, shaped by handmade objects and creative lives, reminding us that beauty often comes from simplicity and attention rather than excess.

A quietly inspiring book for anyone who appreciates thoughtful design, creativity, and the pleasure of living with things made to last, right at home on the Moosewood shelf.
