The warm, welcoming, masculine vibe of Todd Snyder‘s menswear stores is as important to the New York-based designer as the clothes he puts in them. Visit any of his outposts—from the Big Apple to Washington, D.C., Nashville to Bal Harbour—and you’ll find an array of mid-century modern furnishings, comfortable, American-made chairs, and an eclectic array of art and objects that make them feel more like residential spaces than, well, stores.
“Having great taste in furniture equals great taste in apparel,” Snyder said in a recent interview. “If you show a customer that you have this amazing collectible piece, they think… ‘that must mean they have really good taste when it comes to clothes, and vice versa.’”

Todd Snyder’s first furniture collection for CB2 includes everything from an oversized sofa to solid brass lamps.

That emphasis on dressing spaces as well as bodies has now manifested in Snyder’s first collection of furniture and other home goods, created in collaboration with CB2. “We have long seen strong engagement from male consumers who are approaching their homes with the same intentionality they bring to personal style,” said Ryan Turf, CB2’s CEO, in an email. “With this collection, we saw an opportunity to speak to that customer more directly.”
The collection, over two years in the making, is called Townhouse. It’s both a nod to the name of Snyder’s store in Chicago, where CB2 is headquartered, and a practice that informs Snyder’s sartorial work. When designing collections, “I always come up with a place, who’s the guy, what car is he driving, what watch is he wearing, what clothes look like, and what his place would look like,” Snyder says.
But it’s also stylish enough to slip into a wide range of spaces and aesthetics—not unlike Snyder’s core menswear offering. “A townhouse could be in London, Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo,” he explains. “I love the idea of this urban downtown cool, but it’s still a home. It’s comfortable, it’s cozy.”

Called “Townhouse,” the collection is modernist and adaptable for a range of interior styles.

The pieces range widely, but they’re all considered and tactile. There’s everything from a fluted $12.95 ceramic coffee mug to a $3,999 armchair upholstered in shearling from New Zealand. The most difficult piece to get just right was the sofa, a gray velvet tightback design that’s over eight feet long. He likened getting the proportions and comfort correct to making a tailored jacket. “It’s all about the armhole, the shoulder — you get this right first, and then you build everything else,” he says. “A sofa is very similar.”
Asked to identify his favorite piece, and he points to a chair-valet hybrid called the Harrington in an homage to the casual jacket style. “In our stores we have plenty of valet stands, and I always wanted a chair that does the same,” Snyder says. Crafted from solid walnut, the chair would look great in a walk-in closet, but the designer hopes it’ll feel equally at home in other rooms.

“Having great taste in furniture equals great taste in apparel,” Snyder says.

“I think you could actually put it in like a living room,” he adds. “That’s what I love the most about it, it looks like a piece of art. The quality is incredible, and it really kind of epitomizes the entire collection.”
