Pottery Barn, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM)
portfolio of brands, today debuted two exclusive capsule collections by
West Coast-based designers, Shane Brown of Big Daddy’s Antiques and
Pauline Boyd of Counterpane Quilts. Part of the Summer 2016 collection,
these capsule collections are available online at potterybarn.com
and select pieces will be featured in Pottery Barn stores nationwide.
Shane Brown of Big Daddy’s Antiques is an antiques hunter and furniture
designer, well-known for outfitting celebrity homes and high-end retail
spaces. Brown travels the world in search of one-of-a-kind vintage
pieces and his retail locations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston,
Aspen and Seattle house his vast antiques collections and original
custom pieces. Pauline Boyd is the Los Angeles-based textile artist
behind Counterpane Quilts. Inspired by the quilt making tradition of
Gee’s Bend, Alabama and Japanese Boro techniques, she has created her
own modern masterpieces updating the art of conventional quilt
construction with the use of vintage clothing and exotic textiles. Both
Brown and Boyd, known for their eclectic processes, have partnered with
the Pottery Barn design team to create exclusive furniture and textile
designs that bring an artistic sensibility to the Pottery Barn home.
“We are excited to unveil these capsule collections as part of our
summer assortment. We’ve known Shane for more than fifteen years and
have always admired his keen eye for design and ability to curate a
thoughtful, eclectic mix of antiques from around the world,” said Sandra
Stangl, President, Pottery Barn Brands. “Pauline’s approach to quilt
making is an inspiring combination of traditional techniques and
unconventional artistry. Her collection for Pottery Barn offers our
customers heirloom quality quilts and pillows that complement any home.”
Big Daddy’s for Pottery Barn furniture encompasses the essence of
treasure hunter and furniture designer Shane Brown. Established in 1996
in Los Angeles, California, Brown’s Big Daddy’s Antiques has curated a
collection of one-of-a-kind antique finds and originally inspired pieces
from Asia, Europe, and North America. Brown has brought his unique eye
and rustic chic sensibility to the Pottery Barn capsule collection which
includes a reclaimed wood bed ($1,599-1,799), bedside table ($549),
indoor/outdoor teak coffee table ($699), indoor/outdoor teak dining
table ($1,499-3,593), and brass bar console with mirrored shelves
($599). Inspired by original pieces and materials, these exclusive
furniture pieces have been constructed with the highest quality and
durability. Big Daddy’s for Pottery Barn are now available online at potterybarn.com

The Counterpane for Pottery Barn collection by Pauline Boyd includes
four unique quilts and complementary pillow covers. True to her
improvisational style, each piece has been carefully designed by Boyd
using remnants and scraps sourced from antique textiles, vintage clothes
and other fabrics collected on her many travels. Each tapestry is
beautifully sewn into a colorful pattern creating a collection of modern
heirloom pieces. The Counterpane for Pottery Barn quilts will retail at
$299 with pillows covers at $89.50-$99.50. The collection is now
