Eichholtz debuts The Met collection spanning furniture, home décor and lighting

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has partnered with furniture company Eichholtz on a collection of furniture, home décor and lighting.

The 90-piece collection features furniture and lighting that nod to the architecture of both The Met and the New York skyline, along with sculpture reproductions, rugs, wall art and home accessories inspired by the works of art in the museum’s collection.

“Creating The Met x Eichholtz collection has been an exceptional experience for me and my team,” said Edwin van der Gun, Global Creative Director at Eichholtz.

“A year of being allowed to roam through the museum when it was closed to the public and explore the archives has led us to design a collection that we are incredibly proud of. Our close engagement with the artifacts and artworks felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The result is a very special collection of handcrafted pieces we know work beautifully with the Eichholtz collections and will suit a wide variety of luxury interiors.”

Josh Romm, Head of Global Licensing & Partnerships at The Met, added: “A shared commitment to design and creativity unite The Met and Eichholtz for this new collaboration, which brings 5,000 years of art home. We are proud to engage with a globally recognised brand such as Eichholtz to introduce beautiful, quality furniture and home accessories that showcase centuries of design inspiration.”

The deal was orchestrated by The Met’s licensing agency Beanstalk.

Allison Ames, President and CEO of Beanstalk, said: “Eichholtz’s stunning Met furniture, lighting and home décor collection is the jewel in the crown of The Met’s home décor program, with all of the licensees having uniquely interpreted the museum’s cultural assets to create a beautiful and elevated licensing program.”
