John Legend has teamed with Etsy, a global marketplace for unique and creative goods, for an exclusive home and living collection.
Incorporating his own interior style and life at home, Legend co-designed the items with a group of Etsy shops helmed by women, Black and underrepresented sellers.
The limited-edition collection features items such as ceramic mugs, planters, decorative throw pillows, linen shirts and jackets, woven baskets and bowls, and a solid oak wood record player stand.
There are also items for pets, including modern dog beds and ceramic pet bowls.
“It’s important for me to fill my home with high quality pieces made by people who approach their craft with intention,” said Legend. “Each item in this collection was made with joy in partnership with makers who inspire me, and I hope these special pieces make you feel right at home.”
Legend continued, “I love Etsy because it gives a platform to so many creative and diverse makers, who pour their heart and soul into their work. Getting to collaborate with these talented artists was such a special experience, because the finished products tell a story about the people who made them.”
There are 11 shops featured in Legend’s Etsy collection:
- ALLIYAHandTHINGS
- BorianaM
- CharlottesCeramicArt
- CHSSweetgrass
- DesmareonandFamily
- EasternWoven
- LayloPets
- MorseStudio
- MoWoodWorkStore
- NgoBolingo
- TownsendRoweHome.
Together, these shops represent five countries and territories: the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Bulgaria and Poland.
According to Etsy, Legend will release a second collection later this year just in time for the holidays. The collection is said to be “full of seasonal decor and gifts.”
Legend’s new collection is available now at etsy.me/johnlegend. It comes four months after the award-winning singer and musician launched his skincare brand, Loved01.
In other news, Legend recently celebrated his 2013 hit “All of Me” reaching two billion streams on Spotify.
“I played ‘All Of Me’ for Chrissy at our wedding almost 10 years ago, and since then, so many of you have celebrated your special moments with it too,” Legend said. “It’s officially surpassed 2 billion streams on Spotify – what an incredible milestone I’m grateful to share with all of you. Thank you for all the love!”
This fall, Legend will host An Evening With John Legend in New York. The three special engagement shows will feature the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner performing reimagined versions of songs from his latest album, LEGEND, as well as some of his hits.
