Seven new creative collaborations in the pipeline

Companies often look to creatives—interior designers, product designers, costume designers and artists—to collaborate on product development. As part of an ongoing series, Editor at Large is highlighting a number of creative unions that are in the works this summer from ARTE, Hygge & West, Fritz Hansen, JANUS et Cie, Jaipur Rugs, Silestone , PBTeen and Walmart.com.




Interior designer Libby Langdon has created "warm&inviting by Libby Langdon” in partnership with Walmart.com. Each of her six new collections include mix-and-match accent pillows, pouf ottomans, throw blankets and rugs in multiple colors, textures and looks—"Chic and Cheerful," "Sophisticated Style," "Cool and Current," "Soft and Serene," "Color Pop" and "Beach House." Langdon has also designed rooms showcasing each collection, which are featured online, incorporating existing Walmart furnishings and accessories along with her tips to create the designer look at home.
