Crate & Barrel and New York-based Levain Bakery, known for its signature oversized cookies, have collaborated on an exclusive 17-piece collection of baking tools, serveware, and kitchen accessories.
The assortment pairs Levain’s deep baking expertise with Crate & Barrel’s aesthetic sensibilities, craftsmanship and quality materials, the retailer stated.
Before the collaboration, Levain had been using Crate & Barrel pieces to display its cookies in stores, favoring the retailer’s embrace of clean, simple designs that put the baked goods on center stage. The new collection features a ceramic Mini Crate inspired by the berry box colanders that have long showcased fresh-baked cookies, the retailer noted, as well as select textiles, tools and serveware sprinkled with custom illustrations by longtime collaborator Libby VanderPloeg. A Cookie Glass puts a whimsical spin on Crate & Barrel’s signature Icon glass, embellishing it with tiny chocolate chip cookies, including a few with a playful bite taken out.
“Partnering with Levain Bakery has been a delicious delight,” said Alicia Waters, president, Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids, in announcing the collaboration. “They share our deep commitment to quality and product detail. By pairing Levain’s playful perspective with our design expertise, we’ve created a collection of beautiful, functional pieces that help bring the joy of baking into home kitchens. We hope these pieces help families create new, sweet memories together.”
Products in the collection are priced from $6.95 for a 5-inch Porcelain Cookie Plate to $99.95 for a Maple Wood Cutting Board.
