Stylish Outdoor Entertaining with Jake Arnold and Daniel Humm 

As the cooler temperatures make a welcome return, our thoughts turn to the joys of outdoor entertaining. To help you curate magical outdoor spaces for sharing precious moments with your loved ones, we invite you to explore two of the most exciting collaborations within our outdoor range. Discover the stunning artisanal collections by Jake Arnold and Daniel Humm, and find inspiration for all your al fresco spaces.

A touch of nostalgia with Jake Arnold 

LA interior designer Jake Arnold is one of the leading names in the coveted quiet luxury aesthetic. In this highly anticipated collaboration with Crate and Barrel, Arnold brings his signature effortless elegance in a range that takes style cues from the 1940s. He uses natural materials and contrasting textures to create items that feel familiar yet new and timeless yet fresh.

Our Jake Arnold collection is brimming with handcrafted furniture and statement accessories for your outdoor lounge. Thanks to their superb style versatility, the collection's outdoor sofas and accent chairs can be easily integrated into your existing arrangement, whether it is contemporary or classic. Likewise, the Jake Arnold accessories in our range bring character to any al fresco lounge, from his stunning sculptural bronze planters and lanterns to the most charming teak umbrellas.

One of the highlights of the collection is his indoor-outdoor teak Townsend table – a handsome dining table for hosting dinners, whether relaxed or formal. Style a tablescape with his vintage-inspired tabletop linens, accessories, and gilded dinnerware, which look delightful in candlelight.

Sustainable sophistication with Daniel Humm

From the corner of New York’s East 24th Street and Madison Avenue, the Eleven Madison Park Restaurant has been under the care of chef David Humm since 2006. Humm’s highly innovative plant-based menu and dining experience have earned three Michelin stars and brought the restaurant global acclaim. Capturing this culinary buzz, Crate and Barrel is delighted to launch the David Humm collaboration, which celebrates both the chef’s dedication to sustainability and his astute artistic eye, with minimalist kitchen and tableware featuring non-toxic and recycled materials.

Unapologetically understated, the David Humm collection offers dinnerware, linens, and tabletop accessories that reflect upon the simple pleasure of dining together. Set your outdoor dining table with the collection's recycled stoneware plates and bowls, each hand-finished by skilled artisans and boasting a reactive cream glaze for a truly bespoke finish. Complement these rustic yet refined pieces with the muted-toned twill napkins for a dinner setting that allows the food to take centre stage. A fun nod to the restaurant's Art Deco green marble facade, the collection also features several green marble designs, including serving platters and salt and pepper mills.

The collection’s sculptural forms and nature-inspired colour palettes are a perfect fit for outdoor dining. To pay homage to the table settings at Eleven Madison East, you could use a crisp white tablecloth as the base of your tablescape – a foundation that will best showcase David Humm’s artistic designs.

With their enduring appeal and exacting attention to detail, the Jake Arnold and Daniel Humm collections make the perfect pairing for your outdoor entertaining.
