The new collection will feature 115 pieces, including clean-lined furniture that is crafted using Forest Stewardship Council-approved American hardwood. By honoring Shinola's luxury quality and continuing Crate & Barrel's lived-in aesthetic, the collection naturally blends the ethos' of both brands.

Among the numerous pieces in the collection is the new Utility Chair, which features a retro plaid upholstery that emulates a hotel feel.
