Shelton and Mindel

f. 1978

New York based architects Lee Mindel and Peter Shelton founded their firm, Shelton, Mindel & Associates in 1978. Renowned leaders in modern architectural, interior, and product design for commercial and residential clients, Mindel and Shelton head the 14-person firm. Their work is inspired by Modernist influences– Louis Kahn, Le Corbusier, Poul Kjaerholm, Arne Jacobsen– providing new interpretations of modern ideals and traditional spatial planning. “We like the idea of space being not so assignable to function, but assigning it as you see fit,” says Mindel. “You don’t have to live the way the Cleavers lived.” Mindel and Shelton have designed product lines with Knoll, Waterworks, Jack Lenor Larsen, V’Soske, and Nessen Lighting.
