Leanne Ford Is Coming to Your Place With Her New Crate & Barrel Collection

Don’t be surprised if your local Crate & Barrel starts bearing an uncanny resemblance to one of Leanne Ford’s Restored by the Fords projects. The Pittsburgh powerhouse has created 109 pieces for the furniture giant, and every last one oozes her recognizable brand of cool. Fair warning: This shoppable first look at what she’s put together will give you a serious itch to reimagine your space.

Design is a step-by-step process, of course, but the inspirations for this project “all came to me together,” she told us. The styles and regions she references — think midcentury with a Mediterranean flair, elevated ‘70s silhouettes and luxe linens — feel both fresh and timeless (and quintessentially Leanne).

The collection’s trio of candles will fill your space with the scents of Leanne’s second HQ in Los Angeles: a blend of santal and eucalyptus recalls the Santa Ana winds sweeping through west coast canyons. Once the cotton wicks have burned down, use the ceramic vessels for everything from jewelry or keys to floral arrangements. (They’re pretty striking all by themselves, too.)

Leanne’s version of a traditional gourd vase is perfect for sculptural stems like branches and wild grass. Made in Portugal, this matte black terracotta piece plays well with her shorter, bulbous Full Moon vase in pale clay.
