The new assortment of decor, art and bedroom
furnishings combines imagination and style to inspire a new
generation of explorers
CHICAGO, July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Crate & Kids and the
Smithsonian Institution are teaming up to create an awe-inspiring
line of children's decor and bedroom furnishings focused on space
exploration. From bedding featuring art displayed at the
Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum to moon-inspired
lighting, the new line merges archival images with chic design to
bring the wonder of the solar system to kids' bedrooms.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with the Smithsonian to launch
a collection inspired by the growing interest in space exploration
that is meant to spark curiosity and imagination," said
Alicia Waters, President of Crate
& Barrel and Crate & Kids. "The entire collection is based
on iconic space imagery guaranteed to bring out your child's inner
explorer."
The Smithsonian Collection for Crate & Kids draws influence
from key moments in space exploration. Product highlights include
the Space Shuttle Stitch Quilt embroidered with space shuttle
details, a duvet cover inspired by the Apollo 11 mission and Earth,
Rocket and Lift-Off pillows. Straight from archives of the
Smithsonian, the collection also features framed photography of the
Apollo 14 Pressure Suit and an X-ray view of a test Gemini Helmet
to create a perfect environment for curious cadets.
The new collection also marks the launch of the Crate & Kids
Space Shop, a dedicated place to shop pieces from the Smithsonian
Collection in addition to other star, planet and space-themed
pieces from Crate & Kids.
The Smithsonian Collection features a total of 44 new, exclusive
pieces, starting at $30 and can be
found in-store and online only at Crate & Kids. Customers can
