Anthropologie Teams Up with Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste For A Colorful Holiday Collection
A holiday table can tell a story long before anyone takes a seat. In Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste’s first collection for Anthropologie Home, that story unfolds through illustrated plates, handwritten affirmations, musical details, and colors drawn from the places they hold close.
The 46-piece collaboration brings the writer and artist’s visual world together with the musician and composer’s love of music and daily rituals.
Spanning tableware, décor, furniture, and entertaining essentials, it offers a personal take on holiday hosting, with pieces designed to become part of other homes’ gatherings and traditions.
The couple’s own home provided inspiration for the collection and served as the setting for its campaign. That intimate connection runs throughout the designs, which draw on their creative pursuits, cultural backgrounds, and shared pleasure in bringing people together.
Rich jewel tones sit alongside warm seasonal shades, with patterns referencing Jaouad’s Tunisian roots and saturated colors evoking New Orleans. Deep blues and greens bring in the natural world, while original illustrations, musical motifs, and handwritten messages invite a closer look.
The collection also appreciates the imperfect. Jaouad and Batiste were drawn to the irregularities that reveal the human hand, a quality that gives the collection its expressive, personal feel. They aimed to translate the visual language of their home into objects that could find a place in someone else’s life.
That idea comes through most clearly in pieces built around everyday rituals. A tea set draws on Batiste’s daily routine, while a custom record player celebrates music’s role at home.
A cocktail shaker features a rotating mechanism that reveals recipes and measurements, adding a playful, practical detail to drinks with friends.
Elsewhere, dessert plates pair Batiste’s handwritten affirmations with Jaouad’s illustrations, and a conversation deck brings another way to connect around the table. These are pieces that encourage guests to linger, look closely, and share a little more.
The holiday decorations carry the same personal touches. Instrument-inspired ornaments feature Batiste’s handwritten musical notation, bringing the collection’s musical thread to the tree.
At a larger scale, an occasional chair upholstered in Jaouad’s original artwork turns one of her images into a room focal point.
Together, the pieces offer plenty for anyone drawn to color and pattern, whether that means adding a few expressive details to a holiday table or making a bolder statement with furniture.
Hidden messages and original artwork give the collection a sense of discovery that extends beyond its seasonal setting.
The collaboration also connects to YoungArts. Batiste is an alumnus of the organization, which Anthropologie has partnered with since 2023 to help create career opportunities for emerging artists.
At its heart, though, this collection is about making room for people and the rituals that bring them together: putting on a record, pouring tea, passing dessert, or starting a conversation that lasts well into the evening.
The limited-edition Anthropologie Home x Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste collection launches October 15, 2026, exclusively in Anthropologie stores across the U.S. and U.K. and online at anthropologie.com. Prices range from $16 for ornaments to $1,698 for the chair upholstered in Jaouad’s artwork.
