On October 3, Williams Sonoma Home celebrated its new collaboration with acclaimed artist, author and designer Josh Young with a launch party at Williams Sonoma Columbus Circle in New York. Attendees got the opportunity to see the collection in person and have Young sign copies of Williams Sonoma Home’s exclusive-cover version of his new book, Artful Home (Rizzoli).
“To know me is to know how much I genuinely love Williams Sonoma Home,” said Young. “For years I’ve incorporated their pieces into my projects, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked creatively with their team on various creative partnerships for the past six years.”
For the new collection, Young drew upon influences from old-world design elements to craft timeless home furnishings that are both classical and traditional. “When I was approached to design a product line, it was an honor to bring forward my point of view as an artist and designer to create pieces that felt artful, timeless and modern,” he said. “Williams Sonoma Home is an iconic brand that values quality, and I’m so proud of what we created together.”
Williams Sonoma president Felix Carbullido shared the designer’s enthusiasm: “We have long admired Josh’s artwork and design projects, so we are thrilled to partner with him to create products that allow our customers—and his collectors—new opportunities to incorporate his art and signature style into their homes.”
