At CB2 we’re known for our unique take on design. The magic is in the mix of edgy and elevated. Raw and refined. We love trends but don’t live by them. We’re more into that timeless cool-factor.

To help you fill your home with things you love, that aren’t too expensive and that you’ll never regret.As a brand, we champion inclusivity, kindness, love and respect. We try to be good corporate citizens and take big and small actions towards that goal everyday.CB2 enthusiastically supports Humble Design Chicago. A non-profit that transforms empty, cold houses for the recently homeless into warm, welcoming and uplifting places where they can restart their lives. It’s amazing what a difference a furnished home can make for families emerging from homelessness. Learn more about Humble Design here.We always celebrate Pride partnering annually with GLSEN. In addition to our generous donation, we’ve hosted in store events and wore our pride through limited edition t-shirts during Pride month to show our unwavering support. At CB2 HQ, everyday has its own playlist. Music makes its way into almost everything we do from how we define the vibe of a new collection or set the mood in our stores. In 2017 we launched a series of live concerts, in our stores, featuring some of our favorite artists: Francis and the Lights, Kacy Hill, and ???. It was such a huge success we decided to make it a forever thing. Learn about upcoming concerts check out cb2.com/afterhours.

Our stores are filled with their energy, their unique take on products, their stories and inspirations. Like our people, our brand isn’t about a certain look or style, it’s about an attitude. We make what we love. And hope you love it too.
