A new collaboration between tennis champion and designer Venus Williams and Crate & Barrel is rolling out almost 200 pieces of furniture, home decor, textile and storage pieces developed to harness the heritage, elegance and energy of tennis into a modern domestic lifestyle collection.
The collection, available at Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids, features a geometry, movement, color and sense of ceremony associated with tennis, the retailer maintained. Products include the Second Serve Stone and Metal Chandelier, which takes inspiration from the first moment of a tennis service; the Match Point Mayhem Walnut Framed Wall Art; the Members Only Accent Chair; and the Grand Slam Tennis Ball Kids Floor Bin. Prices start at $33 for a Jellycat Amueseables Kids Plush Tennis Ball and go to $1,749 for a 9 -oot-by-12- foot Preppy Stripe Navy Performance Kids Area Rug.
“Venus embodies the intersection of power, style and design,” said Alicia Waters, Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids brand president. “From sophisticated, modern furniture for the whole home to energetic spaces for kids, we are thrilled to offer our customers this collection that seamlessly bridges high design with functionality.”
Williams (pictured above) added, “I’m so proud of this collection. Each piece was intentionally designed to feel artful, timeless and design-driven, while still working cohesively together. We had fun including a few nods to tennis, inspired by the geometry and elements of the sport, while keeping the overall aesthetic that feels elevated, effortless and enduring. Ultimately, this collection was made to inspire that feeling of, ‘I could live like this forever’. For Crate & Kids, this collection represents the bedroom of my dreams. Creating a space that kids can be proud of is so important to me, and bringing an energetic, playful spirit to their rooms was really at the heart of this.”
