Gwyneth Paltrow says Goop's new CB2 collection draws inspiration from Parisian apartments and Italian furniture – it's both elegant and daring
'In our view, beauty comes from individuality and refinement, and that's what we infused into every detail of this collection': Shop our must-have pieces
For fans of Gwyneth Paltrow and her lifestyle empire, Goop, it's likely felt like a long six years since their first collaboration with CB2. However, at last, the wait to upgrade our homes the Paltrow way has come to an end.
CB2 has launched its second collection with Paltrow's modern tastemaker brand – a natural collaboration considering the success of its aforementioned debut collaboration in 2018.
The new collection, aptly named 'Part Two,' pushes the boundaries of design, offering pieces that blend vintage references with bold, new aesthetics. This chapter features new pieces inspired by modern Parisian apartments and mid-century Italian modernist furniture, as Paltrow herself explains.
'At goop, we bring beauty into all aspects of our consumers' lives. In our view, beauty comes from individuality and refinement, and that's what we infused into every detail of this collection,' she says.
'Little touches, like the brass caps and marble legs on our Nadine chair, add an element of high design and will patina over time. These are heirloom pieces to treasure, inspired by modern Parisian apartments and mid-century Italian modernist furniture. We leaned into complex materiality – plaster, shearling, lacquer – for a collection that is as elegant and grown up as it is daring.'

Custom wool-blend
Described as a 'feminine interpretation of a traditional club chair,' this beautifully soft piece is a reminder of boucle's enduring power. It's made from a custom wool blend and has American white oak legs for a truly elegant effect.
Black lacquer finish
Paltrow spoke of how this collection pays homage to Italian midcentury design, and this tripod table lamp is the perfect example of this. Despite being minimalist in form, it's full of personality, making a statement on every table.
Handblown
Inspired by Murano glass, this glass vase is blown by hand for an ombre effect that transitions from clear to earthy brown. We love how each one is unique due to its natural variations for added character.
Lead-free crystal
Featuring an intricate etched ring detail, the Noemie double old-fashioned glass celebrates contemporary Parisian living. Each piece is made southern Poland by Krosno, a globally-renowned glassmaker since 1923.
Glossy white glaze
These bowls, finished by hand in Portugal, have a unique silhouette with a raised edge, meaning we can start our mornings in true style. Each bowls is dipped in a thin black engobe for a greater depth of color.
