behind the design

Meet the makers who dreamed up our new Domino collaboration as they share the inspiration behind the colorful new collection. (Spoiler: They’re just as cool as their designs.)

KATE BERRY
The Chief Creative Officer of Domino and mama of Quinn knows that the key to a beautiful space is intersecting style and functionality.

With a curved wood frame and hide-the-homework secretary design, our new Murphy Desk checks all the boxes. Tip: Add one of our colorful Rook Cube Bins to get (and stay!) organized.

“The idea for the collection started as a personal need: I have a 7-year-old daughter who needed a fun but more grown-up space, with more organization for home learning and, in general, her own space and furniture she could grow with. She needed an actual desk that had an organizational component. It was important to design furniture that was functional but fit in any size space, like our New York apartment. I thought, if I need this then other people need this too.”

Kate Berry hangs out with her design confidant and 7-year-old daughter, Quinn, who inspired the collection’s multipurpose + colorful POV.

FAVORITE PIECE: Renn Chair and Pouf

From afar, our Renn Memory Foam Chair and Pouf look like a solid color, but up close they’re a beautiful blend of 3 shades.

SEBASTIAN BRAUER
As the VP of Product Design at Crate and Barrel, Brauer loves how an inspiring design can encourage kids’ self-expression.

Colorful and organic, our fun Speedway Organic Quilt adds a playful layer to their bedroom.

“It’s important that kids are surrounded by not only functional spaces, but also positive energy and joy. This collection does just that: It inspires different personalities, attitudes and self-expression through color, art and modern design.”

FAVORITE PIECE: T Street Crib

From crib to toddler bed to daybed, our T Street Crib’s modern vibes will grow with your little one.

JEFF CANHAM
The acclaimed San Francisco artist (and frequent surfer!) infuses his playful graphic prints with a West Coast sensibility.

We don’t know what we love more about our NorCal Quilt designed and signed by Jeff Canham: its reversible print or—wait for it—its glow-in-the-dark design.

“I grew up in Hawaii and I’m an avid surfer, so I pulled a lot of my inspiration from my experiences, as well as my background as a sign painter and graphic designer. I hope that each piece inspires young people to look at their surroundings in a new way. That one person may look at the work and get something different out of it than the next person and that both interpretations can be right.”

Create an instant cozy corner with our Renn Chairs and Poufs, plus our electrifyingly cute Bolt Washable Rug.

FAVORITE PIECE: SSS (Suns, Swims, Seas ) Framed Wall Art

We’re flipping out about our wall art, literally! Our SSS Framed Wall Art can still be read when upside down. Mind = blown.

MARY MATSON
Known for her whimsical illustrations with a kiss of California, the Los Angeles–based artist brings her fun and colorful POV to the collection.

The Los Angeles–based artist brings her eclectic POV to the collection, like our SoCal Organic Quilt that she designed and signed.

“This collection is so Domino! I was inspired by their eclectic, colorful and chic world. I really feel like this new collection is not just for kids. You can mix and match the pieces to style any room to feel personal and inspired.”

From playrooms to living rooms, our new Rook Bookcase can adapt to any space with its streamlined design + mix-and-match Cube Bins.

DAVID HANSEN
Crate and Barrel’s Creative Director (Print, Pattern, and Color) knows a thing or two about colors and patterns, so it’s no surprise that this collaboration’s curated palette feels like a ray of sunshine.

It’s all in the colorful details: our Trestles Lightning Bolt Sheets + Speedway Organic Quilt + Sis Surfer and Zuma Lightning Bolt Pillows.

“It was fun working with Kate Berry closely on the palette. It’s super fun and young while also feeling beachy and Californian. The colors are quite punchy and vibrant, making the entire collection different and exciting.”

FAVORITE PIECE: Idyllwild Organic Crib Quilt

Our sweet + organic Idyllwild baby bedding was quilt to last.

RACHEL VAN TIMMEREN
The textile designer for Crate and Kids loved bringing the colorful collective vision for the collaboration to life.

For bedding that makes a colorful splash, pair our Tag Organic Sheets with our playful Speedway Organic Quilt.

“I hope customers feel the energy and passion that went into this collection. Artists Mary Matson and Jeff Canham are so inspirational. It's exciting to see their artwork translated into textile designs for kids. There is such a freshness and design-forward sensibility throughout the entire collection that I hope our customers love as much as I do!”
