CB2 and Crate & Barrel are two modern furniture retailers with distinct differences. CB2 is a cool and edgy brand that offers fresh, fun furniture for playful personalities, often designed with city-living in mind. Their pieces are small in scale and multifunctional, making them perfect for lofts, apartments, and houses of all sizes. In addition to modern furniture, CB2 carries quirky kitchenware and creative home decor. On the other hand, Crate & Barrel offers contemporary and modern furniture, housewares, and decor that help people Welcome Life In. They curate inspiration for the home by connecting the creative work of artisans and designers to people around the world. With over 100 stores in 9 countries, they offer high-quality products with exclusive designs. Both retailers participate in equitable labor programs to ensure their products are ethically sourced. CB2 is part of the Fifteen Percent Pledge which dedicates 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses while Crate & Barrel is part of amfori BSCI - Code of Conduct which sets standards for working conditions and labor rights in global supply chains. CB2 claims to use organic cotton in some products while Crate & Barrel claims to use organic cotton as well as assemble some products in the USA. However, it's important to note that not all their products have certifications such as FSC Certified or OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified (CB2) or Greenguard Gold Certified or GOTS Certified (Crate & Barrel). Overall both retailers offer unique styles with a commitment to ethical sourcing practices but differ slightly in their product offerings and certifications.
