CHICAGO – Crate & Barrel has introduced a new 50-piece home collection in partnership with Los Angeles-based designer Jake Arnold, one of the industry changemakers behind virtual design platform The Expert.
The new, whole-home collection includes 50 pieces of furniture, lighting and décor, available exclusively at Crate & Barrel.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Jake’s signature vision that blends classic design influences with timeless California cool to our Crate & Barrel customers,” said Sebastian Brauer, Crate & Barrel senior vice president of product design. “This collection will delight and inspire our community by pushing the boundaries of what accessible modern design can be. It’s anchored by iconic silhouettes and layered materials that bring a custom and luxurious feel to any room.”
Brauer said the collaboration is designed to serve as a canvas for the imagination, bringing unique ratios, silhouettes and textures for a versatile whole-home collection with prices that start at $19.95.
The Crawford plush sofa, finished in either a box pleated slipcover or upholstered in cognac cotton velvet, can be styled with pillows or alongside a heavy coffee table for contrast. Similarly, the Hardwich woven pendant light adds an organic feel, serving as a formal dining room accent or intimate bedroom fixture.
“There’s a 1940s feel of aged aesthetics and classic notes, punctured with very intentional contemporary touches that we brought into these designs,” said Arnold. “We wanted to weave vintage nostalgia with a modern sensibility to create a collection of purposeful pieces that focus on timeless materials that feel lived in, but also prioritizes how we live now.”
Studio Jake Arnold’s high-profile clients include Katy Perry, Aaron Paul, Zendaya, Chrissy Teigen & John Legend, and Jimmy Kimmel. Arnold’s work has been featured in publications such as Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor, Vogue, and Homes & Gardens, and he was named one of The Hollywood Reporter‘s Top 20 Designers in Los Angeles.
