There's barware, lighting, marble tables, and even customizable sofas.

CB2, the place you window shop for a trendy sofa only to end up impulse buying a pair of modern candle stick holders—you know it, you get it. But the retailer isn’t just about fast-buying, it’s also about modernism and legacy, and its latest launch has both dialed up to the max. Featuring reissued pieces from late architect and designer Gianfranco Frattini, the Frattini collection looks and feels like pure luxury given to you at direct-to-consumer prices. I’ve seen it, touched it, and sat on its cool carseat-like sofa, and can confirm, it’s vintage-looking, yet, anything but old.

Frattini is remembered for his transformative pieces that shaped Italian design in the 1950s and 1960s. Largely known for his views on “creating” decor pieces that aren’t strictly just about “furnishing,” Frattini said, “There is no decoration; the structure becomes the object.” He dedicated his career to creating items that add both style and form to homes—many which will do so for decades to come.

CB2 followed every bit of his vision when launching this collection. "Each design CB2 produced within this collection celebrates Frattini's timeless standards," said CB2 President Ryan Turf. "Guided largely by original drawings, vintage pieces, archival images and his surviving family, we are extremely honored to showcase these iconic designs for a new era."

The whole line houses 62 pieces ranging from dinnerware, glassware, and lighting, plus, of course, its furniture statement pieces. Among the collection you can find things like a four-seater sofa that's shown below in a rusty orange velvet shade, but you can actually customize it in up to 26 different materials and colors, including my favorite: the classic black leather. But the sofas are just the start.

Beyond seating, the marble coffee and side tables are the real hero pieces of the line. Made in four different variations mixing cream and black marble, they are a fusion of elegance and minimalism. Frattini was a master of materials, and said, "Always use a material for what it can do; don't force its nature." His love for structurally bound marble and statement pieces shows right through in the design of these remastered tables that you can nearly design for your very own space.

My favorite piece from the collection isn't just about looks (while it nails that, though), but about the story. The Famiglia Chess Set is fitting to its name, because well, it's a story of family. In 1972, a silversmith company south of Milan commissioned Frattini to design this modern chess set, which he never completed. The set is now ready thanks to his daughter, Emanuela Frattini Magnusson, who finished the design with the stunning board. So, technically you can say it took half of a century to complete this set—now that's a story. Shop the set and the rest of the Gianfranco Frattini collection here.
