Crate and Barrel’s Italy-inspired collection fits right into Filipino homes
Something about the Italian lifestyle resonates with Filipinos—the love for gatherings, the appreciation of craft, and the way both cultures treat their homes as warm, welcoming spaces. That’s why Crate and Barrel’s new Italy-inspired collection feels right at home here.
Now available in Crate and Barrel Philippines, the latest arrivals capture the relaxed, layered approach to Italian living, showcasing its regional charms—from the rustic countryside of Tuscany to the vibrant hues of Sicily and the breezy elegance of coastal Capri. Each piece embodies the essence of these inspirations, easily bringing the Mediterranean feel into Filipino homes.
The Martina Sofa, for example, combines a relaxed scatter-back silhouette with an exposed walnut wood base, offering both comfort and sophistication. It’s the kind of furniture that can hold its own in a Manila condo or a Cavite family living room—inviting, durable, and perfect for long conversations over coffee or merienda.
The Siena Walnut Bookcase adds architectural interest with its deep vertical and horizontal planes, providing open storage that’s both functional and stylish. It’s a piece that can easily complement both modern and traditional Filipino interiors, serving as a place for books, plants, or curated objects that tell personal stories.
Crate and Barrel’s newest pieces continue to showcase the brand’s signature clean lines and sculptural details, but with a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship and heritage. Items like the Antiguo Terracotta Vase, Amphore Ceramic Plaster Vase, and Esfera Amber Glass Bud Vase are handcrafted, each one drawing inspiration from the work of Italian artisans. The textures, forms, and finishes bring subtle layers of elegance that capture the Mediterranean’s laid-back sophistication, while aligning with the Filipino eye for beautiful, meaningful pieces.
New additions from interior designer Athena Calderone expand her Crate and Barrel collaboration. Her Argent Metal Side Table and Rituelle Burl Wood Dining Table offer timeless designs with striking silhouettes—easy to imagine anchoring a Makati flat or a suburban dining room. The pieces encourage intimate gatherings, long meals, and moments of stillness—something both Italian and Filipino families value deeply.
The outdoor collection introduces resort-style living through a sophisticated palette of neutrals, cool blues, and soft greens. Pieces like the Ipanema Wicker Outdoor Sofa, Solano Sand Outdoor Sectional, and Indio Outdoor Lanterns suggest alfresco dining and relaxed weekends. Complementing the look are tableware pieces such as the Aspen Green Palm Plates and Savannah Melamine Dinner Plates in yellow and white—bright, festive, and perfectly suited to backyard brunches or beach house celebrations.
Even the accessories embrace Mediterranean charm. The Jacquard Palm Leaf Pillow adds a touch of softness and style, while the Cortez Recycled Glass Drinkware, made from discarded glass, combines sustainability with beauty—a growing consideration for eco-conscious Filipino households.
What’s exciting is how accessible these pieces are. Whether you’re furnishing a new space or refreshing an old one, Crate and Barrel’s selection offers something that feels personal and collected. And with the brand’s continued presence in major malls like SM Aura Premier, SM Makati, and SM Megamall, as well as the current pop-up store at Power Plant Mall, it’s easier than ever to experience the collection in person. Shoppers can also explore the full range online at crateandbarrel.com.ph.
