A Go-To Guide to 2022’s Coolest Collaborations

We love designer collaborations, especially when they’re the brainchild of two supremely stylish powerhouses. When it comes to new partnerships, 2022 is shaping up to be better than ever. Read on for seven to shop this spring.

Sarah Ellison x Design Within Reach

Australian designer Sarah Ellison’s new collection for Design Within Reach combines a juxtaposition of textures with fun, 70s-inspired silhouettes. (Think cushy chairs, plush sofas, plank-style beds, and walnut-striped woods.)

“I wanted to pull coastal style in a much more modern direction so that it has a refined, elevated feeling but is still relaxed and easygoing,” Ellison says. The result? A coveted — and much in-demand — mix of comfort and high design.

Amber Lewis x Anthropologie

California-based designer Amber Lewis draws on her West Coast roots for this laid-back, luxe collection.

Despite its robust size, the 132-piece collection is easy to shop. Everything is organized room by room. “I hope this collection inspires you to create a versatile space that not only looks good but feels good,” Lewis says.   

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec x Hay

The Balcony collection is the latest from the French brother design team Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. This time, they’ve given their signature powder-coated steel frames an update with circular detailing and pigment-rich colorations.

Dining sets are available in a variety of styles, making them a versatile option for any outdoor space. Also choose from an assortment of chairs, lounges, benches, and accent tables.  

The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Arts x Henzel Studio

Art and design collide in this fascinating (albeit unconventional) collaboration of art rugs inspired by Warhol’s provocative 1978 Oxidation series. Fans of the artist might recall that he solicited friends to urinate on his wet, copper-coated canvases. The acid oxidized the metal in the copper paint, creating an abstract shimmering effect.

“The foundation is delighted to expand our collaboration with Henzel Studio to celebrate Warhol’s idiosyncratic exploration of abstraction and his continued influence on contemporary culture,” Foundation representative Michael Dayton Hermann says.

Eskayel x Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams

This new design collaboration pairs the veteran retailer with New York-based textile studio Eskayel. The collection of patterned wallpaper — the first for MG + BW — features painterly takes on Americana motifs including pinstripes and bandanas.

Created by Eskayel founder and abstract artist Shanan Campanaro, each fine art design is sustainably made using eco-friendly materials.

Target x Jungalow

Designer and author Justina Blakeney partnered with Opalhouse — the big-box retailer’s in-house décor line — to create this super-affordable line of furnishings and accessories.

Standouts include an ornate seven-foot chaise lounge daybed, a round upholstered leaf print ottoman, and cylinder lantern string lights. Myriad accent pieces include colorful throw pillows, embossed vases, and decorative planters.

Dior Vibe x Technogym

This superbly chic collaboration pairs the luxury French fashion house with fitness brand Technogym. For starters, boldly patterned workout wear, shoes, bags, and accessories sport the instantly recognizable Dior logo. Limited-edition Technogym sports equipment includes a state-of-the-art workout bench and an insanely cool star-studded exercise ball.  

Head to the Dior website to shop the virtual pop-up. And don’t let the price tags scare you. Anything you purchase is destined to become a collector’s item.
