Outdoor and Kids Product Reveal by Crate & Barrel
Revamped Article:
Catch up on stylish kid's furniture and cool outdoor pieces from the latest collaboration between interior designer Jake Arnold and Crate & Barrel. This exciting partnership has brought forth two hot trends: a Crate & Kids line and a new outdoor collection-all brimming with freshness, sophistication, and adaptable charm.
Ever the purveyor of timeless designs, Arnold's kid's collection draws inspiration from his own family home projects. He shares that people often seek a playful yet grown-up atmosphere for their kids' spaces without resorting to an excess of bubblegum hues and cartoonish shapes: "I wanted a happy, whimsical, and well-designed space for kids." Arnold's design exudes soft silhouettes and luxurious materials, making it a favorite among parents and kiddos alike.
Sprinkled with subtle vintage references, the collection captures the vibe of a seaside sanctuary. The Clamshell table lamp, a woven wicker delight, embodies the mystique perfectly. Arnold's beautifully crafted beddings and beds are entitled to soft, refined shades that effortlessly complement their coastal theme.
In terms of longevity, these versatile pieces can grace any spot in your home and won't seem out of place. Arnold says, "Kids are always growing and evolving, and their tastes change. With this line, all you have to do is repaint the walls, and it'll fit right in."
Moving outdoors, Arnold focuses on a line of teak and iron furniture, which includes chairs, tables, lighting, and melamine plates. Echoing a bygone era, the Harpen table and chairs are inspired by Gio Ponti and Jean Royére.
Crate & Barrel's Senior Vice President of Product Design, Sebastian Brauer, explains the adaptability of the pieces, stating, "With this collection, you have the freedom to mix and match materials, creating your unique interpretation of vintage charm and modern sophistication."
In essence, Arnold beautifully blends the essence of Italian and French vintage with a dash of California modernity, crafting a cohesive, refreshing assortment of furniture suitable for either indoor or outdoor spaces. He muses, "I've always been drawn to the idea of escapism-the ability to create a magical space where you can retreat and unwind."
