handcrafted modern/irving harper

In light of the article in the NY Times T Design section this weekend, I thought I would post one of my own images from Irving Harper's home. This one is not in my forthcoming book, Handcrafted Modern, but you see some of my favorites of his paper sculptures in the window. He also made the "blind" at the top of the window out of paper and thin wood dowels. I came away a bit in awe of the patience making these sculptures would require.
