Marimekko To Get A Shop Inside Crate and Barrel

Crate and Barrel has featured Marimekko designs for decades but the brands are taking their partnership to a new level with a new shop-in-shop dedicated to the Finnish apparel and interior design and textile house. The Marimekko shop-in-shop at the Crate and Barrel location in SoHo, New York will feature textiles, bed and bath, decor and some apparel. It will launch on October 14. According to a press release, Marimekko and Crate and Barrel are also exploring further opportunities for collaboration, including other shop-in-shops and ecommerce.

The relationship between these two brands goes back to 1967, when Crate and Barrel presented the first Marimekko fabric collections, followed by a clothing line several years later. Marimekko is a Finnish textile and clothing design house founded in 1951. The cheerful patterns and colors of its printed fabrics have always given it a strong identity.

An ordinary bar stool isn't necessarily luxurious. However, that same barstool wrapped in pigment-dyed leather takes on a new chicness. The Folio barstools from Crate and Barrel are made of solid welded steel and have a foam-cushioned seat and a grooved steel footrest covered with chip-resistant paint. The chair comes in white, chocolate, ebony or cherry leather. The stools sell for $279-$299.

Pacific Bed Tray, Mother's Day Gift of the Day

You might be wondering why the Pacific Bed Tray is being suggested as a Mother's Day gift. Granted, the tray is lovely, if basic, made of a mix of woods in a dark, smooth finish. It's most important feature is that it sits up about 9-inches off of a bed when unfolded. Why? Because along with today's Mother's Day gift there is a gift idea: serve her breakfast in bed. The clock is counting down on the amount of time you have to get a gift together for Sunday and a special breakfast is as simple as it is luxurious. The tray is $39.99. You're on your own for breakfast, but Slashfood can get you started with some ideas, like a Blueberry and Yogurt Brulee, Smoked Salmon Benedict, or Buttermilk Scones with White Chocolate Chips.
