The Kara Mann Collection

Kara Mann Furniture: The Art of Contrast

Designer Kara Mann has spent a decade and a half imbuing residential and commercial interiors with her signature irreverent style. In that time she's mastered the art of contrast, embracing an aesthetic that's classic yet innovative, all while remaining true to her instincts. For her collaboration with CB2, Kara's designed furniture and decor that explores contrast through new lenses: tough yet romantic, hard and soft, masculine and feminine. Take the sectionals she designed for the collection. These clean sofas remain unpretentious and full of personality, embodying a luxurious nonchalance. Woven dining chairs and bar stools, meanwhile, mix materials and influences with abandon. Try stylizing black woven dining chairs around a white table for a chic monochromatic look. Bring an unexpected edge to the living room with the collection's mirrored coffee tables and side tables. Use them to hold decor, or leave them bare for minimalist appeal. One of the best parts about mirrored tables? They reflect light and make your space feel much brighter as a result.

Kara Mann Decor: Ivory Bedding, Frosted Glass Vases & More

Complement your Kara Mann furniture with decor pieces that are just as fun and boundary-pushing. In the bedroom, opt for a clean and soft look with ivory bedding and pillows. Then, complete the vibe with a lacquered nightstand or dresser. Want a piece that captures the tough yet romantic aesthetic? Try a concrete nightstand instead. The whole collection stems from Kara's memories of designing her dream bedroom as a teenage girl — use her long-in-the-making pieces to stylize the space to be ideal for you. In the rest of the home, large round pendant lights add a sexy touch to dinner parties, while Kara's vases are as playful as they are pristine.
