Crate & Barrel and Chef Daniel Humm Debut First-Ever Home Collection Inspired by Culinary Simplicity

Renowned Chef Daniel Humm Translates His Signature Minimalist Aesthetic into a Curated Collection for the Everyday Kitchen

CHICAGO, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Crate & Barrel introduces a new, exclusive collaboration with acclaimed chef and restaurateur Daniel Humm, the visionary behind the Michelin-Starred Eleven Madison Park. Chef Daniel Humm's minimalist edge meets Crate & Barrel's traditional design in a thoughtfully crafted collection for modern cooking and entertaining.

"Chef Daniel's dedication to artistry—on the plate and in his restaurant— brings a fresh and modern perspective to kitchen design and setting a table," said Sebastian Brauer, Senior Vice President of Product Design at Crate & Barrel. "Rooted in his deep appreciation for culinary craft, sustainability and art, this collaboration merges his visionary approach with our design expertise to create a collection that reimagines the beauty and ritual of home cooking."

Drawing inspiration from Daniel's personal appreciation for Bauhaus influence, every piece reflects his eye for detail. Standout pieces from the assortment include the Montreux Wine and Champagne Glasses, which are handblown by a team of nine expert glassmakers in Portugal and the Japanese Clay Cooking Pot, which is a unique piece of art that marries form and function in the kitchen.

"Chef Daniel is a master at his craft and prioritizes sustainability and simplicity, making him the ideal partner to curate a purposeful collection for our customers," said Alicia Waters, Brand President, Crate & Barrel. "This collaboration celebrates thoughtful craftsmanship, designed to inspire joy and creativity in home kitchens everywhere."

"With this collection, I am inviting you into my home," said Chef Daniel Humm. "The pieces reflect the same philosophy I bring to the kitchen every day: simplicity, intention, and a deep respect for craft. I wanted to reimagine the tools we use in the kitchen through the lens of design and purpose. I hope this line inspires others to find beauty in the details and meaning in the everyday rituals of gathering and sharing food."

The Daniel Humm for Crate & Barrel exclusive collection, featuring over 30 pieces, will be available in-store and online at Crate & Barrel beginning June 24th. You can shop the full collection at crateandbarrel.com/danielhumm and the Crate & Barrel IOS app.
