Crate and Barrel’s jaunty offshoot, CB2, previously was available to Southern California shoppers only online or by catalog (shipping costs!) or by flying to stores in Northern California, Chicago or New York (furniture is soooo difficult to cram into those overhead bins).

Now, nearly a decade after the chainlet debuted, CB2 has opened its first local store, and sixth overall, at 8000 W. Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, the site of the shuttered Virgin Megastore.

Like Crate and Barrel, CB2 carries housewares, accessories and furniture but with a younger, more urban vibe. The CB2 website says it ‘dials up the fun’ and describes its stuff as ‘affordable modern’ -- that is, cheaper with brighter colors and a funkier edge than at its more staid mother ship. It’s definitely a step up from Target, and maybe even Ikea.

Apartmenttherapy.com, which says the store this weekend will be donating a percentage of sales to Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, has pictures here.
