What: Book signing with Lee Ledbetter
Where: FOUND for the home
PC Moment: The New Orleans-based architect cum interior designer had fans lining up to snare a copy of his inaugural book, The Art of Place: Architecture and Interiors (Rizzoli) while FOUND proprietor Ruth Davis welcomed the enthusiastic throng.
The now-closed Canopy provided refreshments while guests perused the book that explores Ledbetter’s mastery of both serious architecture and decorative arts and features his signature combination of traditional details with chic modernism. Design fans also perused FOUND’s ever-changing collection of home furnishings and art, with pieces ranging from several centuries.
PC Seen: Neill Davis, Kristen Perrin, Ryan Reitmeyer, Catherine Brooks Giuffre, Debbie Yee, Ben Johnston, Erick Ploog, Carmen Bechter, Lexi Killion, Ashton Taylor, Jacob Medina, Henry Boyd, Michael Mandola, and Julie Koch.
