When CB2 and Lenny Kravitz’s Kravitz Design first joined forces in 2015, the collaboration signaled something new for the home furnishings brand: a meeting of rock-and-roll attitude with small-batch, soulful design. Their inaugural launch quickly became a hit, introducing ’70s-inspired silhouettes, glam influences, and sleek fixtures to a wider audience. Now, ten years later, the partnership has matured into something richer, deeper, and more refined. Their third capsule collection – a 62-piece range spanning furniture, rugs, lighting, decor, and serveware – marks not just another collaboration, but a culmination of shared values and an evolved philosophy on the home as sanctuary.
From the outset, Lenny Kravitz’s design sensibility has been guided by memory and place. This collection draws inspiration from his formative years in Los Angeles, the International Style’s influence on California modernism, and the breezy spirit of Malibu. The result is a capsule collection that balances European rigor with West Coast ease: sinuous silhouettes, grounded palettes of sand and toffee, and tactile surfaces like leathered Breccia marble, Danish cord, and hand-woven leathers.
“I wanted this collection to distill everything we’ve learned in our years of collaboration into a mix of elegant and enduring designs,” Kravitz explains. “My aim was to create pieces that feel timeless.”
For CB2, the collaboration has become a benchmark in its ongoing effort to redefine accessible high design. Andrea Erman, Senior Director of Design at CB2, frames it as a natural extension of the brand’s mission: “CB2 isn’t just about attainability – it’s about cultural relevance, material elevation, and storytelling. Working with Kravitz Design allowed us to deepen our commitment to soulful, statement-making pieces that resonate on both an aesthetic and emotional level.”
That balance of scale and soul is evident in the production process. While rooted in artisanal craftsmanship – hand-knotted rugs from India, woven leathers, naturally dyed yarns – these pieces have been carefully developed to remain accessible. “Scale should never come at the expense of soul,” Erman adds. “This collection proves that handcrafted doesn’t have to mean out-of-reach.”
Pieces like the Rohe Marble Table pay direct homage to architectural clarity, while the collection’s sculptural seating nods to the idea of furniture as inhabitable architecture. The Kanan Sofa, upholstered in custom Italian twill, anchors the collection with understated luxury, while the Rake Lounge Chair reveals Kravitz Design’s talent for sculptural yet livable forms. Lighting, too, plays a defining role, with rice paper shades casting a soft, restorative glow.
If the first two collections established the creative chemistry between Kravitz and CB2, this third capsule refines it into a philosophy. The home, as both partners emphasize, is more than an arrangement of objects – it’s a space of openness, love, and memory.
Kravitz’s latest vision board included iconic mid-century motifs such as the Case Study Houses, the structural precision of Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson, and the relaxed modernism embodied by Craig Ellwood’s Hunt House, where the campaign was shot.
These references weren’t purely visual – they informed the proportions, openness, and restraint of the designs themselves. The result is a body of work that feels less like a collection of objects and more like an architectural language for living.
“The idea of home as sanctuary was a guiding principle throughout the design process,” says Erman. “We focused on form and materiality that evoke a sense of calm and retreat… spaces that are not just visually striking, but restorative and deeply livable.”
As Kravitz himself puts it: “A home is not the things that are in it, but the love that’s in the house.” With this collection, CB2 and Kravitz Design have captured that sentiment in tangible form: objects that elevate daily life, while leaving space for the personal narratives that make a house a home.
