Crate & Barrel’s New Collaboration Brings Michelin-Style Dining Right Into Your Kitchen
Crate & Barrel has always been known as a furniture and decor store as well as a destination for outfitting your kitchen with everything you need for cooking and entertaining. So the brand’s latest collaboration with chef and restaurateur Daniel Humm of Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park, which dropped today, feels like the perfect fit for where the brand has always met its customers — and where it continues to evolve.
What Is the Daniel Humm for Crate & Barrel Collection?
Marrying Crate & Barrel’s traditional-leaning design with Humm’s fondness for minimalism, this 30-plus-piece collection is a modern mix of furniture, glassware, dinnerware, linens, entertaining pieces, and cooking accessories and tools. Humm’s signature attention to detail for cuisine was channeled into the way these items were developed, from the nine glassmakers needed to perfect one handblown Montreux Wine Glass to the quiet luxury of the brass-framed glass doors on the Zurich Kombu Green Storage Cabinet.
Taken as a whole, the collection is intended to turn at-home dining into an experiential art form akin to dining in one of Humm’s acclaimed outposts. He’s channeled a lot of his aesthetic into these items, too.
You can see his appreciation of the Bauhaus school’s simplicity, which comes across in the handsome but straightforward silhouettes. And the line’s moody green palette is a direct reference to the iconic green marble at Eleven Madison Park.
In particular, the green marble pieces, from salt and pepper mills to utensil holders and beyond, will add a ton of character and charm to counters and tabletops. But they’re all designed to serve a purpose, too. The entire collection really straddles the line between form and function.
Available in stores and online today, the collection starts at just $9.95 and ranges up to $4,999 for the storage cabinet. I picked a few standout pieces to share with you here to make your shopping even easier.
