Crate & Barrel has long been a destination for timeless design with a modern point of view. This fall, the brand adds a new chapter to its decades-long story with The Collected Home, an exclusive furniture, lighting, and decor collection created with celebrated interior designer and television personality Jeremiah Brent. Building on the success of his 2024 Crate & Kids collaboration, Brent’s first full home line with the retailer represents both an expansion and a deepening of their shared design language. For Brent, the range is as personal as it is professional – an evocative expression of his layered, soulful approach to design.
“This collection reflects the way I see home,” he explains. “Even the sleekest spaces need warmth. Whether through vintage inspiration, rich patinas, or intricate fabrics, I wanted every piece to evoke a sense of history and softness – something that feels curated, not coordinated.”
A Design Philosophy in Practice
Brent describes the line as rooted in what he calls “the space in between,” a philosophy that seeks harmony between opposing elements by leveraging their contrast. The pieces reflect this sensibility with sculptural yet welcoming silhouettes, earthy tones set against refined finishes, and an interplay of historical references reinterpreted for contemporary life. The result is a collection that feels elevated without pretension, sophisticated yet approachable.
From his early career to leading his namesake firm at present, Brent’s work has always leaned into storytelling. Here, that narrative comes alive in forms and finishes that invite daily interaction.
“There’s a lot of pretty furniture out there,” Brent reflects. “But having something that’s both beautiful and functional – that’s the balance. Everything in this collection was designed to be lived in, not just looked at.”
Eclectic Voices Find Harmony
The assortment includes more than just furniture. It’s a symphony of beautiful objects arranged in chorus, easily customizable for any taste. What unites these designs is Brent’s insistence that every angle, every detail, and every touchpoint matters. From the precise pitch of a chair to the tactile feel of a surface, the collection reflects his meticulous sensibility.
“I wanted the collection to feel like you saw the artistry behind everything,” he explained. “That you could walk in and think, not only is this gorgeous, but it’s finished – everything is done.”
The Parchemin Credenza is an example of the collection’s appreciation for construction and its ability to articulate materiality well. Crafted in bleached parchment with a subtle patina, this versatile piece bridges eras, offering historical resonance while feeling at home in contemporary interiors. It’s also one of few products available on the global market with this unique material and one-of-a-kind composition, making a rare find accessible.
Low-slung and plush, the Curios Bed channels a ‘70s sensibility while providing respite from the din of modern living. Its soft, rounded forms suggest cocoon-like comfort, further amplified by the jumbo welt details. This piece pairs perfectly with the material juxtaposition found in the Rhea Pouf Ottomans, which dons a fluffy, luxuriously soft seat covered in long-hair shearling atop an angular metal base finished in light pewter. Each half boasts unique effects when catching daylight. The Raoul Lamp echoes that geometry in its angular shade and spherical element, but provides balance to bigger furnishings through its thinness when paired with other accessories.
Objects like the Neue Keyhole Dining Armchairs, which originated as playful doodles, merge comfort with Deco-inspired detailing. Upholstered for long gatherings, they exemplify Brent’s obsession with usability as much as beauty. The Eero Modular Sectional Sofa, the designer’s homage to architect and designer Carlo Scarpa, features a faceted back made to look like cut crystal – bringing a monumental presence to a room. And the octagonal Walnut Storage Pedestal conceals ample storage while doubling as a sculptural anchor.
Layers of Influence
While Art Deco is regularly referenced in burnished brass legs, geometric forms, and a few Jean-Michel Frank references, the collection avoids pastiche. Instead, it layers Deco with nods to 1970s glam, practices mid-century restraint, and celebrates global craft traditions. The effect is a tapestry of eras and inspirations that continue to inspire.
The material palette furthers this sense of layering. Walnut, parchment, faux shearling, and bronzy velvets create richness, while an earthy palette of cognacs, creams, and warm golds anchor the designs. Brent describes it as “new modernist” – not a rigidly contemporary style but an approach to blending elements seamlessly. “It’s not about how contemporary something is,” he adds. “It’s about how you blend them. That’s what feels modern to me.”
A Love Letter to Home
Ultimately, Brent sees The Collected Home as something beyond a product line, but rather, a reflection of everywhere and everyone that inspires, and a gift to those who will use it to curate collections or create homes of their own. That sentiment carries through the range’s versatility and the way pieces can live in multiple rooms, adapt across styles, and evolve with a household over time.
This vision resonated deeply with Crate & Barrel. “Jeremiah’s sense of elegance combined with modern practicality adds a very personal touch to his designs, and we are delighted to collaborate on new living spaces for the home,” says Sebastian Brauer, Senior Vice President of Product Design. Alicia Waters, President of Crate & Barrel, echoes the sentiment: “The collection brings to life Jeremiah’s philosophy – that home should feel collected over time. It’s something that resonates deeply with our customer, and we’re thrilled to bring that soulfulness to homes everywhere.”
The Collected Home by Jeremiah Brent is now available at select Crate & Barrel stores nationwide and online at crateandbarrel.com.
