"Athena Calderone's first collection defines itself through organic materials and shapes: white limestone and travertine, friendly fabrics like shearling and rattan, and rounded corners on coffee tables and nightstands. Her 2024 collection, however, bears influences of the Vienna Secession and Art Deco. Burl wood made an entrance, as did alabaster and geometric light fixtures."
"A best-seller of her 2022 collection, C&B made a larger version of the boucle armchair. Bun-shaped wood feet are playful, and the mushroom color makes for a sophisticated neutral palette. Athena would pair it with the ottoman, surely, and likely an alabaster table lamp."
"A final sale steal, this three-tiered fabric pendant is just $300 for a piece that reads far beyond that price point. A little tiering goes a long way in any space, giving it dimension, shape, and a top-down design approach. It's Mediterranean, coastal, and sculptural all at once."
Athena Calderone, founder of Eyeswoon, has established herself as a prominent interior designer through her Crate and Barrel collections and her Cobble Hill townhouse. Her 2022 collection emphasized organic materials including white limestone, travertine, shearling, and rattan with rounded furniture corners. The 2024 collection shifted toward Vienna Secession and Art Deco influences, introducing burl wood, alabaster, geometric light fixtures, and Brutalist artwork. Wine-colored velvet became a signature element. Her new Tribeca home, a Gilded Age residence previously owned by architect Thierry Despont, showcases these refined design principles. Notable pieces include a boucle armchair with bun-shaped wood feet and a three-tiered fabric pendant, both exemplifying her sophisticated approach to design with lasting appeal.
