kpvxl The opening of CB2 in Toronto is lastly set! After delays because of construction, Crate & Barrel’s sibling store is firm on opening its very first Canadian store on November 12th in the old huge Bop club place at 651 Queen street West.
The store set up a bit pop-up shop for media, so I got a sneak peek at a few of the new products coming out this fall. In short: great deals of smooth storage, awesome lighting, fantastic seating as well as stylish tables.
I truly liked the walnut box frames ($40), which are large sufficient to stand up on a shelf or mantel. The new walnut wood Rig Barstool ($179) has cheery Canadian red metal accents as well as would look fantastic in any type of space.
I’ve always desired sling chairs, which have the awesome look of camping furniture as well as are comfy to boot. Plus, they have a great slim profile. This leather one ($449) has handsome braiding around the edges. The coffee tables on the ideal are by a designer the CB2 team found in Italy as well as looked fantastic on the stylish tie-dye rug ($349) that’s likewise new for fall.
H&H editor Suzanne Dimma was eyeing this large metal Tic Tac Toe set ($45) for her cottage. (Browse pictures of her stunning cottage in the October 2011 issue, on sale September 5th.)
The resin shower room dishes, cups as well as pumps (from $6) appeared like they were made from stone. The adorable Tree sound Holder ($12) as well as twiggy Arbor shower curtain ($50) continued the organic feel. The charming wooden toothbrushes ($15/set of 4) are likewise from CB2 as well as have numbers on the bottom for simple identification.
These lights aren’t new, however the dainty profile of the desk lamp as well as the hand-crafted vibe of the wooden floor lamp should have a mention. The floor lamp likewise has a bright blue fabric cord that suspends the shade, adding a fun hit of colour.
There were likewise pillows as well as accessories as well as so much more! I already have my eye on a few pieces as well as may just get them on the internet while I wait on the store to open in three months. Not that I’m wanting for winter’s arrival — I just want summertime as well as CB2.
