as a very long time fan of Crate and Barrel, i am most excited to share their brand new collection with you — meet Trove, Crate and Barrel’s new exclusive collection inspired by modern design cities — think of sunrise hues and an extra saturated color palette with the energy of a fresh new day. and the collection is flexible enough to work in every room — including petite living rooms and dining spaces like mine, because the Trove collection is modular, modern, and perfect for small-space living. the Trove collection reminds me of favorite cities i’ve traveled to, like Luis Barragán’s geometric bold colors in mexico city, and gaudi’s clever shapes and pastels all over barcelona and introduces us to eye-catching shapes and colors like punched-up pastels for maximum style impact — paired together to give a room a uniquely eclectic pop.

I chose a dramatic mixture of pieces from the Trove collection to share with you — from the more neutral, go-anywhere pieces like the Nero White Marble Accent Table and Nero White Oval Coffee Table with their trumpet table bases of brass-coated cast aluminum tapers supporting a gorgeous top of white marble with beautiful grey veining that’s beautifully unique to each piece. and the Rondure Globe Floor Lamp with its wonderfully speckled base and brass iron rod — the column of terrazzo provides the perfect foundation for the art deco-inspired globe lamp with its softly diffused light — pair with the coordinating Lachlin Table Lamp to complete the look.

for my tabletop, i chose a whole cornucopia of colorful Coimbra tableware from the Trove collection — my favorite mix and match look, perfect for summertime dining indoors or out. there’s a huge mix of Trove stoneware to choose from in reactive glaze washes — i chose the Coimbra Blue Large Tray in a deep shade of blue finished with a softly curved lip and rounded corners, it’s the perfect platter to serve crudités, kebabs or individual desserts. i paired these with the other pieces in the Coimbra dinnerware and serveware collection for a modern, multicolor table. made in portugal, the Coimbra serveware collection is a Crate and Barrel exclusive. add to that the Coimbra Medium Tray, Coimbra Oval Tray both in a pretty pink blush, a mix of both the Coimbra Mini Bowl in yellow and the Coimbra Mini Bowl in blue — perfect for nuts or desserts, and the Coimbra Yellow Dip Bowl to serve sauces, salsa or dips.

i’ve accessorized the entire look with a mix of vases from Trove’s collection made by talented artisans and glazed by hand, coating the earthenware in matte finished, modern shades. you can display the vases on their own, or grouped with the other colorful totem vases. i chose a mix: the Dagmar Pink Totem Vase with its bold silhouette with playful yet sculptural shape; the Eleonora Mint Totem Vase for its pretty tiered curves, the Dorothea Orange Totem Vase with its a geometric silhouette and lastly, the beautiful Olympia Tall Pink Vase with Handles — the classic amphora vase with right angles and deco curves.

all of this wonderfully colorful mix was placed on top of the Spence 90″ Table Runner in an aqua weave bordered in stripes of goldenrod at either end — all of the pure cotton dyed and weaved by hand. then for a bold splash, i added the Maxwell Yellow Round Easy Care Placemats, embossed to look like real leather, but super easy to care for. and lastly, i paired the placemats with the Tissi Blue Mist Napkins, with finely stitched edging in lush teal borders, a square of seafoam, creating a napkin with a modern, tonal look, and the pure cotton napkins clean up easily in the washing machine and dryer. and naturally, we need some dishes to dine from, so i chose the Coimbra Mint Dinner Plate
and paired it with the Coimbra Blue Salad Plate for an interesting paired contrast. summer decorating and dining at its most fun!

here’s a few more of my favorite pieces from the Trove collection: Dark Green Ingrid Bowl; Lachlin Table Lamp; Strummer Double Old Fashioned Pink 13oz. glasses; Jacque Console Table; and the 8×10 Touffe Rug. you can check out the entire Trove collection online at Crate and Barrel.
