I popped into the new CB2 store in San Francisco last weekend.\u00a0 It’s Crate & Barrel’s new little brother, and it was really interesting.\u00a0 It was kind of a combination of Ikea, Crate & Barrel, and Design Within Reach.\u00a0 It had amazingly low prices, lots of very colorful homewares and accessories, and furniture.\u00a0 There was a lot of contemporary pieces, some pop art influenced pieces, Marimekko prints, and quite a bit of mid-century design sprinkled in there.\u00a0 If you are in Chicago, NY, or SF it would be worth checking out.\u00a0 They also have a website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I only was in the store for a minute, but I found a few interesting things.\u00a0 They had these bowls that were almost exactly like Krenit bowls, with a few key differences.\u00a0 First of all, they are huge – the largest one is 19″ across.\u00a0 More importantly, they have a “hand hammered” look to them – they aren’t totally smooth like Krenit bowls are.\u00a0 They feel like they are a very similar material and finish as the originals, though.\u00a0 Colors are somewhat similar as well.<\/p>\n

They also had a really nice selection of wool rugs.\u00a0 They were almost all in the sub $500 range for nice, large, design rugs.\u00a0 Think Angela Adams or other cool contemporary designs.\u00a0 I don’t need a rug or I would have serisouly considered getting one on the spot.\u00a0 I don’t know how long they would last, but they were very soft and felt nice.\u00a0 The ones in the store were much better than what is online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
