■ "Modern Originals: At Home with Midcentury European Designers" by Leslie Williamson

Photographer Leslie Williamson gained popularity with her photo book "HANDCRAFTED MODERN," in which she used a film camera to capture the homes of modernist architects and designers.

This book also features photographs taken during her visits to the homes and studios of 13 of the most iconic midcentury architects and designers, including Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto.

The photographs convey the atmosphere of the homes as they were when the now-deceased owners lived there, as well as the attention to detail and love that can be sensed from the furniture and small objects lined up on the shelves that were likely to have been cherished. Why not take a relaxing trip to their homes with a cup of coffee in hand?
