Cornish College of the Arts graduate Justin R. Lytle is recognized for his sculpture that manipulates found and familiar objects — mostly books and paper ephemera. One of our favorite examples of his work is his War and Peace Project pictured above.

We’ve tapped Justin to do a store-specific installation in our new Seattle store — we can’t wait to see what he comes up with! More on his west elm in-store collaboration next week!
