About CB2
At CB2 we’re known for our unique take on design. The magic is in the mix of edgy and elevated. Raw and refined. We love trends but don’t live by them. We’re more into that timeless cool-factor. Home is where personal style comes to life. And we’re here to inspire in any way we can. To help you fill your home with things you love, that aren’t too expensive and that you’ll never regret.
As a brand, we champion inclusivity, kindness, love and respect. We try to be good corporate citizens and take big and small actions towards that goal everyday.
CB2 enthusiastically supports Humble Design Chicago. A non-profit that transforms empty, cold houses for the recently homeless into warm, welcoming and uplifting places where they can restart their lives. It’s amazing what a difference a furnished home can make for families emerging from homelessness. Learn more about Humble Design here.
We always celebrate Pride partnering annually with GLSEN. In addition to our generous donation, we’ve hosted in store events and wore our pride through limited edition t-shirts during Pride month to show our unwavering support.

We make what we love. And hope you love it too.
