CB2--Crate and Barrel--I think they are marketing their contemporary stuff using the CB2 name as it sounds more 'modern' than the regular one. One motto is "So You So Affordable" & they have an easy to use website....The motto on the printed catalog is "resort to affordable modern" and they have really interesting modern rugs that are rather affordable in price. They have a lot of coordinated room settings and things that must be manufactured for them alone, or at least in their colors. CB2 has everything you would need to outfit an apartment or home. CB2 tends to use certain colors and stick with them throughout the entire catalog or season. The print issue that I have is all about orange and lime, aqua and yellow. I love hot colors, so I think it is great. I saw zebra print rugs, camo rugs, and other modern rugs that had zippy designs. They also carry bedding and other stuff from Marimekko ® of Finland www.CB2.com
