Atelier Purcell Lookbook

Behind the Book with

Alexander Purcell

Alexander Purcell builds furniture that pairs brass with eucalyptus, bronze with marble—future heirlooms shaped by both digital precision and the human hand. He splits his time between Los Angeles and Todos Santos, Mexico, moving fluidly between interior architecture at Purcell Design and the furniture and lighting collection he launched in 2019, Atelier Purcell.

In our interview, Alex talks about designing future heirlooms, why print was the only honest way to represent the brand, and what happens when a lookbook outlasts a showroom visit.

What drives you to design?

“Nothing gives me more pleasure—or feels like a greater honor—than seeing people inhabit a space I once imagined, or welcoming a piece I created
into the deeply personal environment of their home. The thrill never changes: that moment
when an idea becomes tangible, inevitable, and
ready to live
in the world.”

In a digital-first world, what made a physical object the right way to represent your brand?

“The work I create, whether interiors or furniture,
is about presence: weight, texture, proportion,
the way light moves across a surface. A book allows those qualities to be felt rather than just seen. It becomes an artifact in its own right, something you hold, open, return to.”

Can you share a moment where a book you left behind clearly turned into a real relationship, a project, or a sale?

“Many interior designers keep the book on their desks for weeks, returning to it until it eventually leads to an ongoing collaboration. That’s why the scale of the book matters so much: large enough to feel substantial, but not so big that it becomes intrusive, and not so small that it gets discarded.”
