Crate and Barrel introduces a cohesive range of furniture and homeware shaped by modern coastal living
Homes today must keep pace with the city while offering a sense of release at day’s end. With its latest collection, Crate and Barrel gathers inspiration from Sydney’s urban coastline and showcases that “city-meets-beach” lifestyle in pieces built for living rather than display.
The collection pairs long, low silhouettes with sandy upholstery, corded panels and sculptural tables. Deep-seated sofas and expansive sectionals encourage time spent comfortably, while accent chairs introduce a visual appeal to the interiors. Together, these elements allow the home to feel grounded without leaning on familiar coastal tropes.

At the centre of the collection are the sofas. The Soho presents a clean profile with generous depth, its cushions made to support without stiffness. The Gather collection takes a broader approach with its deep seats, inner-coil construction and durability suited to daily use. The bestselling Retreat sectional, now available in olive, adds a richer option to the lineup. All are made in the United States using FSC-certified hardwoods, reflecting the brand’s direction on responsible sourcing.
Storage isn’t just a background function too, but a focal point. The Talay cabinet commands guests’ attention with its Danish cord panels, bullnose framing and rounded contours. Meanwhile, the Anvers Accent chair intrigues from any viewpoint, with a contemporary, mixed-material design that doesn’t skimp on comfort.

The range extends across indoor and outdoor furniture, joined by housewares and entertaining pieces that follow a consistent theme: relaxed, cohesive and built to last. To help you reimagine these pieces in your home, the Design Desk pairs clients with in-house specialists, offering layouts and 3D renderings before any purchase is made.
The collection distils coastal living into tangible elements: low, generous seating that invites long hours, sculptural wood pieces that echo waves and textured finishes that soften each room. From the Gather Sectional to the Talay cabinet, each piece carries both intention and ease. All together, they shape a home that feels open and attuned to the pace of everyday life.
In Metro Manila, the collection is available at SM Aura Premier, SM Makati and The Podium, as well as online via crateandbarrel.com.ph. As urban living grows denser, spaces that offer ease and clarity carry greater value.
