June 13, 2015 – MANILA, Philippines – Crate & Barrel’s shore-inspired spring collection, a curated assortment inspired by the easy lifestyle and fresh colors of a serene shore, was launched recently. 

Members of the diplomatic corps and the expat community, corporate executives and celebrities, as well as home innovators and decorators attended the event at SM Aura Premier.

US Embassy Commercial Councilor James McCarthy and taste-maker Bonnie Santos attended the ribbon cutting ceremony together with SM Supermalls SVP for operations Steven Tan and Crate & Barrel business unit head Jo Co Siy.

The collection speaks to the brand’s casual decorating style and entertaining expertise, all at an affordable price point.

A mix of colors, patterns, shapes and textures are inspired by nature and the shore. Rich blue, soft turquoise, crisp white and elegant neutrals inspire an escape from the daily routine to a place where the tide comes in and the relaxed life plays out.

“We’re excited to share our 2015 spring assortment with customers. This collection brings together all that we believe in: clean, classic designs that are both inspiring and approachable — meant to be enjoyed every day,” said Raymond Arenson, Crate and Barrel executive vice president of merchandising and design. Accessories like the Oceano Throw, Driftwood Garland and Regatta Vase hint of serene shores and make any room a retreat, while dreamy Torbenbedding in gray and yellow and the Hampton stripe seafoam shower curtain and seafoam towels provide crisp updates for bed and bath.

New entertaining offerings include dramatic Lake dinnerware in deepest blue and the sunny Serrano glassware collection in yellow and orange. With a nod to springtime blooms, Murphy, Azulejo and Molly pillows bring welcome color to any setting.

Crate & Barrel is located at the fourth level, Mega Fashion Hall at SM Megamall and at the third level of SM Aura Premier.
