In a sea of neutral bouclé sameness, Max Humphrey is a breath of fresh mountain air. The Portland, Oregon-based interior and product designer’s penchant for Americana aesthetics and nostalgic references sets him apart from the pack. This signature style is at the heart of Humphrey’s new collections with Sunbrella performance fabrics and Crow Canyon enamelware—both of which were driven by a desire to create the types of pieces he seeks out for his own projects. So, on the heels of his debut line with Sunbrella in 2023 (available exclusively through Pindler), the designer assessed what he found himself reaching for most and how the line could grow to include even more gingham, classic stripes, easy plaids and forest-inspired motifs.

In a seamless crossover, gingham is also at the forefront of his Crow Canyon tableware collection. “While I present in a more Pacific Northwest or lodge style, I made everything so it could lean preppy or more transitional,” points out Humphrey, who takes pride in getting the scale and coloring just right, along with the silhouette of what he lovingly refers to as “cowboy flower” botanicals. “I’m learning that I don’t have to hold back in terms of quirkiness,” says Humphrey. “If I water things down, it doesn’t work. Authenticity is what people want.”
