How does this collection relate to your own accessory line?
The pieces are clean, minimal, multifunctional and timeless. I wanted to incorporate touches of our jewelry aesthetic into the collection. So, for example, I made a marble sconce that emulates our signature, long link chain. I took that theme into the legs of tables, the borders on mirrors. We wanted it to feel that there was a nod to what we do. We wanted it to look and feel connected.
How would you describe this collection?
Timeless, neutral, multi-functional, and fun. We made a black marble ping pong table that has legs that emulate our signature chain link but they’re black matte so it’s not an obvious nod to the chain. We created a dog door because I could never find a dog door that I liked. Or that was chic! I created pieces that are super minimal and clean and will work in any home or even office.
How has your own lifestyle contributed to the collection?
Being a working mom and having a specific, neutral, color pallet in our home already we wanted to focus around the heart of the house. The kitchen and the living space are is where I spend most of my time at home so I wanted these spaces to be the focus for the collection. I love to cook so we made sure we had a lot of kitchen accessories, glasses, plates, serving dishes, trays and platters. All easy objects that work with whatever you have at home already that you can buy and freshen what you have.
Why was CB2 the right partner for your first home wear collection? What was the process like working with their team?
I am a CB2 customer, I always have been. We vibed. There was a synergy between the two. They were so great to work with. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
