Collection Overview
Laura Harrier and Tiffany Howell's debut furniture collection for Crate & Barrel launched on April 23, 2026, featuring 87 pieces that blend cinematic glamour with contemporary design. The collection draws heavily from Old Hollywood aesthetics, '70s style, and mid-century European minimalism, creating what designers describe as a cohesive world rather than just isolated pieces.
Design Inspiration and References
The collection channels multiple iconic sources including Elsa Peretti's Bean necklace design, David Lynch films like Blue Velvet, and characters from cinema including Lauren Hutton's role in American Gigolo. The designers also drew inspiration from fashion pieces, vintage Alaïa dresses, YSL in Marrakech, photographer Sheila Metzner's jewel-toned work, and the defunct London department store Biba. The aesthetic bridges references from Basic Instinct, Sunset Boulevard, and Paris, Texas.
Standout Pieces and Materials
Key pieces include the Salon sofa (inspired by Elsa Peretti's organic forms), a cream-colored Cinema vanity, the Arlo bar cabinet in high gloss, and the Mystic chaise lounge. Materials feature prominently glossy lacquer, sumptuous velvet upholstery, swirled burl wood furniture, and shiny steel dinnerware. Lighting is a particular standout category, including an Art Deco table lamp inspired by vintage perfume bottles and a gauzy pendant inspired by a ballgown.
Design Philosophy
Harrier and Howell emphasize that the collection reflects fashion and interior design as forms of self-expression. Pieces function as modern heirlooms and jewelry for the room, creating sensual, timeless pieces meant to be lived with daily. The designers pull from iconic references and established aesthetics rather than chasing trends, resulting in spaces that feel elevated and high-end while remaining livable.
Designer Collaboration
Harrier and Howell first worked together on Harrier's 2020 home, which was featured in Architectural Digest. Their design partnership has since expanded through multiple interior projects. According to Harrier, their tastes have merged to the point where they can reference single design inspirations and immediately understand each other's vision, such as naming an Elsa Peretti cuff to explain a table concept.
