Crate & Barrel

Aside from its staples – simple, easy-to-mix tableware and accessories – this chain stocks sophisticated, craft-conscious furniture. We’re quite fond of the Pennie series of sofas and armchairs by Welsh designer Bethan Gray, which features plush curves in cornflower blue and tapered dowel legs, as well as the Tiger linenslipcovered chaises and sectionals from Italian designer-architect Paola Navone.
