I Met Jake Arnold at His New Outdoor Collection Launch — And the Designer Explained How to Make Your Backyard Feel Like a Resort

Jake Arnold poses alongside his new outdoor collection with Crate & Barrel.

Between the elements and chance encounters with crawly guests, outdoor entertaining has its challenges. But, according to renowned interior designer Jake Arnold, beautiful furniture and barware can make everything else — yes, even the food — secondary. For him, the key to effortless alfresco hosting isn’t just about the menu but the mood. A space that doesn’t just read as outdoor (no cheap plastics, no forgettable beige), but one that feels as "elevated, layered, and personal as your interiors."

That’s exactly the ethos behind Jake Arnold’s new Crate & Barrel outdoor collection — bringing bespoke sensibilities to the best outdoor furniture, so guests feel just as at home under the stars as they do indoors.
