Chef Marcus Samuelsson just designed an African-meets-Scandinavian collection for West Elm

The celebrated chef brings together Ethiopian, Swedish, and New York influences in his unique collection.

What happens when you blend African flair with Scandinavian minimalism? You get a cozy, earthy aesthetic that feels like home. At least that’s the feeling that Marcus Samuelsson, the celebrated chef, wants to create through his new 32-piece capsule of kitchen furniture and tableware for West Elm.
