Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids unveil two new collections with celebrity interior designer, Jake Arnold, drawing from the success of the 2023 Jake Arnold for Crate & Barrel whole home collaboration. The new collections expand into two new categories – a debut collection with Crate & Kids and an outdoor assortment with Crate & Barrel that offer a refined take on escapism rooted in timeless design.
"From our very first collaboration, Jake has shared a unique vision of effortless style that blends heirloom classics with his signature modern touch, creating pieces that feel both timeless and modern," said Sebastian Brauer, Senior Vice President of Product Design for Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids. "We're excited to continue growing this partnership, expanding into new areas like outdoor and kids' spaces by combining Jake's European and California influences with our dedication to craftsmanship."
The first-ever Jake Arnold for Crate & Kids Collection nods to European vintage with subtle undersea motifs, distilled into pieces that can stand on their own to grow from nursery to big kids room. The design teams started with playful elements found in vintage French furniture to add sophistication to pieces like the Everett Ocean Upholstered Twin Bed that doubles as practical storage. Intricate details, unique to a kids collection, and refined materials in the wicker Iris Clamshell Table Lamp or boucle Hatsby Accent Chairs are a whimsical touch for kids and a long-lasting, buildable staple for parents.
Extending this playfulness and escapism, Jake teamed up with Crate & Barrel on his first outdoor collection to redefine outdoor spaces. The new assortment of outdoor furniture, lighting and tabletop merges English garden elegance with glam Hollywood Regency, that strikes a balance in any space. The teak Hartford Sofa and Lounge Chairs can be paired with the Felix Wicker Side Table for an open-air feel, while the outdoor entertaining pieces like the regal Thornton Beverage Tub and shatterproof glassware will transport you back to 1940s France.
"With the overwhelming success of our first collection with Jake Arnold, we were inspired to expand into other product categories to offer our customers his unique design point of view," said Alicia Waters, Brand President, Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids. "This collaboration allows a unique chance for Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids to partner, enabling more customers the opportunity to incorporate Jake's beautiful, polished designer look throughout their homes."
"It's been incredible to expand my partnership with Crate & Barrel, bringing high-design, high-quality pieces to two often-overlooked areas of the home," said Jake Arnold. "For both collections, versatility and timelessness were at the forefront. We reimagined traditionally bulky outdoor furniture with softer silhouettes, while my first-ever kids' collection introduces a new level of sophistication, inspired by luxe European details. I can't wait to bring these pieces into my own home."
The collections feature a total of over 140 new, exclusive pieces, starting at $34 and can be found in-store and online only at Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids, beginning March 13th. You can shop the full collection at crateandbarrel.com and the Crate & Barrel IOS app.
