Humans are funny. We’ll drop a fortune on the perfect heels, only to keep them boxed for a special 'someday,' or invest in a stunning sofa no one’s allowed to sit on, enshrined in clear plastic like it’s on display at the Met.

The interior designer behind homes for Beyoncé and Gwyneth Paltrow has just launched a collection with Crate & Barrel, and the lighting ideas deliver on exactly what she’s known for: livable luxe. It’s a phrase she coined, a category she defined, and the guiding principle behind a lineup that feels just as good in person as it looks in a photo.
