The friction between an archive and a modern hand is the entire appeal.
Arthur H. Lee founded the house in England in 1823, building its name on florals and archive-driven textiles rich enough to outlast several owners and several centuries of taste. Kravet, itself a fifth-generation family business dating to 1918, acquired Lee Jofa in 1995 and kept that spirit intact, with an archive deep enough to hold almost any reference a designer could want. Lee Jofa Modern is where that archive meets the present: a line built for collaborations with designers like Kelly Wearstler, who take the house somewhere new.
Lee Jofa operates on a different scale than most of what Wearstler works with: a 200-year archive, real manufacturing capacity, and showrooms across the U.S. and abroad that put a collection directly into rooms. The appeal is the contrast: her graphic, urban instincts alongside a house whose archive leans floral and traditional. Lee Jofa Modern is built to hold that contrast, giving her the run of two centuries of craft and manufacturing while she brings her own point of view.
"Every collection with Lee Jofa has asked for something the last one didn't. That kind of trajectory only happens when the partnership itself keeps evolving."
Tela
Tela takes a landscape apart, breaking a full scene into fragments that hint at where they came from. Fifty-five fabrics and wallcoverings that suggest nature rather than draw it outright.
Transit + Glyph
Fabric and wallcovering pulled from Wearstler's own travel photography of city street art and signage. A graphic language that stays quietly bold, across sixty-five fabrics and wallcoverings.
Mesa
Indoor/outdoor performance fabric that borrows its palette and patterning from plateau landforms: earthy tones and geometric shapes built for both a porch and a living room.
