2017-07-24T12:00:00-04:00

Erin Besler is a trained architect with an undergraduate degree from Yale and an M.Arch I from SCI-Arc. Ian Besler is a graphic designer and arts writer with a B.S in journalism from the University of Illinois and an MFA from ArtCenter College of Design. Together, the two form the LA-based practice Besler & Sons.

They're known for taking common references, like a gutter, and repositioning it in a new framework, transforming the reference into something more conceptual. In 2015, they won the Architectural League Prize and were finalists in MoMA's PS1 Young Architects Program. They have participated in both the Chicago Architecture Biennial and the Schenzhen and Hong Kong Bi-City Biennial of Architecture/Urbanism. They recently released a line of terrazzo bookends and other "Props," as the line of home accessories is called.
