Marcus Samuelsson Sets the Table at West Elm

West Elm launched a new collection that has us whipping out our credit cards without hesitation – a partnership with esteemed NYC chef, restaurateur and author Marcus Samuelsson.

Samuelsson, known for his restaurants Red Rooster Harlem, Hav & Mar, Streetbird and more, developed this 32-piece collection to honor the places that have defined him through his Ethiopian heritage, Swedish upbringing and New York City home base.

Each piece combines textures with streamlined Scandinavian sensibility and deep, flavorful colors. West Elm headed to Samuelsson’s childhood home of Smögen – an island in Sweden’s Gothenburg archipelago – to shoot the collection and celebrate the launch. Homeware lovers can now browse the capsule of dining tables and chairs, plateware, textiles and more online.
