Global design company, West Elm, a portfolio brand of Williams-Sonoma, Inc., the world’s largest digital-first, design-led and sustainable home retailer, have announced a collaboration with Marcus Samuelsson.
The award-winning chef is known for his restaurants worldwide, including Red Rooster in Harlem, New York. The new collection marks Samuelsson’s first introduction of home furnishings and will be available exclusively at WestElm.com and at select West Elm retail locations.
The 32-piece capsule celebrates Samuelsson’s love of food and entertaining as a way to gather and inspire people. Ranging from furniture to lighting, tableware, textiles and art, the collection honors his Ethiopian heritage, Swedish upbringing, and New York City home base. Key items 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).
“Marcus embodies style as a way of living,” said 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.”
