Live the Crate and Barrel lifestyle with our exclusive collection of home furnishings and housewares classic to contemporary.

History

Established in 1962.

Back in the 1960s, a young Chicago couple by the name of Gordon and Carole Segal had just returned from a honeymoon in Europe. One night while washing their dishes after dinner, they lamented there was no place at home to buy the contemporary, affordable housewares they had admired throughout their travels.

Passionate to make these designs available to others, the Segals hired one employee and leased an abandoned elevator factory in Chicago’s Wells Street. They traveled throughout Europe buying directly from glassblowers and ceramicists, from factories making beautiful French copper pots and simple white bistro dinnerware. With no money left for displays, they stacked the shipping crates and stuffed the overseas barrels with fun merchandise. So out of necessity came the unique Crate and Barrel style… and name.

A lot has changed since that first store opened. Instead of one employee we had in 1962, we now have 7,000. Instead of one small storefront, we now have more than 100.
