CB2

The condo-friendly furniture, lighting and accessories of CB2 were always cool; now, its collaborations with established designers and gifted newcomers have put it over the top. Gwyneth Paltrow’s internet- frenzied special-edition Shearling Chair and pink velvet sofa mix chic and cozy. Fred Segal–designed indoor/outdoor furniture brings California calm to hard lofts, while Ross Cassidy’s Japanese- inspired bento box tables and shoji screen chairs will appeal to those making simpler statements.
