SAN FRANCISCO - World surfing champion Kelly Slater is collaborating with PBteen on an eco-friendly home furnishings collection for teens and pre-teen children.

Launching early April, the collection includes furniture built with FSC-certified wood, rugs made with recycled fabrics and bedding using 100% organic cotton.  PBteen is a member of the Williams-Sonoma Inc. (NYSE:WSM) portfolio of brands.

"Global conservation is a focal point of the capsule collection and it falls right in line with the change and direction I’m working towards, on a professional and personal basis," said Slater, an 11 time WSL World Champion, and X-Games gold medal winner. "In collaborating with PBteen, we are creating a subtle and natural feel with this collection - something that has an authentic appeal for teens and their parents alike.”
