About the project
The Crate & Barrel design and construction team brought together an array of talent to execute on their first-ever, full-service restaurant concept. The goal was to create a welcoming dining experience and immerse guests in the Crate & Barrel story. Striving to capture the hearts of consumers with an experiential store environment, the design team set out to bring together everything the Crate & Barrel brand stands for: connecting people, creative entertaining, and timeless design. Cushing Terrell provided architectural and engineering services in coordination with several other consulting firms and partners.
The team was thrilled to work with them to help translate the company’s brand into the dining and hospitality space. The existing Oakbrook Center store was transformed into an interactive experience combining shopping, indoor and outdoor dining, and a place to gather while interacting directly with their most coveted products. Guests are greeted by a vast walnut-slatted wall at the entry and drawn into the dining area with a view toward the prep kitchen and intimate banquette seating. Using modern yet casual materials and furnishings, the restaurant transports guests to a comfortable, familiar, “homey” setting. The centerpiece of the restaurant is the 13’ dining table, which is the namesake for The Table at Crate.
