The Carbone Fine Food x Houseplant collection is a limited-edition 4/20 capsule that brings together Seth Rogen’s lifestyle brand and the New York-based Italian restaurant group. Anchored by a co-branded marinara sauce, the release uses Carbone’s signature recipe made with Italian tomatoes grown in volcanic soil and cooked in small batches. The drop also includes a novelty “dime bag” of oregano, tying the food element to Houseplant’s cannabis-driven identity.
Beyond food, the collection expands into homewares with Italian-made ceramics from Deruta featuring traditional rooster motifs, alongside espresso cups, a leather catchall, and a Murano glass ashtray. A “Fancy Ashtray Set by Seth” adds a hand-crafted component designed by Rogen himself. The release also introduces Houseplant’s first limited-time THC beverage in a Blood Orange flavor inspired by Sicilian citrus. The collection is available through June 30 via Houseplant, Carbone Fine Food, and select retail locations.
