If you've ever wanted your living room to feel like a fever dream set inside a velvet-draped, art-deco jewel box, Laura Harrier and Tiffany Howell may have just designed your dream collection.
The actress and the creative director have teamed up for an 87-piece furniture and home décor collaboration with Crate & Barrel, and the reference points alone are enough to make any design-curious person sit up straight. Think Elsa Peretti's iconic bangle jewelry translated into sculptural furniture forms, filtered through the moody, lush aesthetic of David Lynch's Blue Velvet. The result, according to Architectural Digest, is a collection steeped in '80s opulence - that particular brand of maximalism that felt simultaneously glamorous and slightly dangerous.
Why this collaboration makes sense
Harrier has built a reputation as one of Hollywood's more genuinely stylish figures - the kind of person whose fashion and interiors choices suggest real conviction rather than a stylist's hand. Pairing with Howell, who brings professional design fluency to the table, grounds the collection in something more considered than a typical celebrity brand deal.
The Peretti connection is especially interesting. Peretti's work for Tiffany & Co. was defined by organic, body-conscious shapes that felt both ancient and completely modern. Seeing that sensibility applied to home furnishings - curved silhouettes, tactile surfaces, forms that feel almost alive - is a genuinely compelling design idea rather than just a mood board talking point.
The '80s reference done right
There's a lot of '80s nostalgia floating around interiors right now, but much of it skews campy or ironic. What makes this collection sound different is its apparent seriousness about the source material. Lynch's Blue Velvet isn't remembered for kitsch - it's remembered for creating spaces that feel simultaneously domestic and deeply unsettling, beautiful and charged with tension. That's a more sophisticated take on the decade than the usual neon-and-chrome shorthand.
An 87-piece range is also substantial enough to actually furnish a space cohesively, which matters. Too many collaborations deliver a handful of accent pieces that look great in campaign imagery but leave you with nowhere to go from there.
The bottom line
If you're in the market to refresh a space and you're tired of the beige-and-boucle moment that's been dominating every scroll for the past two years, this collection looks like a genuine alternative. It's bold without being aggressive, nostalgic without being costume-y - and the Crate & Barrel price point means it's actually accessible to people who aren't decorating a Malibu compound.
The full details are available via Architectural Digest, and honestly, it's worth a look just for the reference points alone.
