West Elm's new collection designed with Chef Marcus Samuelsson.
West Elm and award-winning chef Marcus Samuelsson are partnering a new collection of home furnishings that will be available at WestElm.com and select West Elm retail locations.
The 32-piece capsule is Samuelsson’s initial foray into home furnishing and the designs are inspired by his love of food and entertaining as a way to gather and inspire people. The assortment includes furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles and art, and honors his Ethiopian heritage, Swedish upbringing, and New York City home base.
“Marcus embodies style as a way of living,” says Day Kornbluth, president of West Elm. “He brings taste and a point of view to everything he touches and brings people together along the way. It was a pleasure working with him on this collection, which we love.”
“I’m thrilled to partner with West Elm to create such a personal collection—and my first set of home furnishings,” said Samuelsson. “Designed to help people come together at home, it celebrates the joy, artistry, and ingenuity of food shared with friends.”
Key items in the line include the Carved Tableware Set ($32-40), the Upholstered Dining Chairs and Bar Stools ($299, $399), the Layered Brass Pendant ($399) and the Rectangular Dining Table ($1,299).
