ABOUT ATHENA

Using curiosity as a guiding principle, designer Athena Calderone seeks to amplify the quiet connectivity between objects to craft her visual chemistry. This creative doctrine is at the essence of Athena’s multidisciplinary approach that spans interior design and product development. Studio Athena Calderone is built upon the ethos that every project embraces the unexpected, replacing symmetry with spontaneous opposition to curate elevated, nuanced, and soulful homes. Athena’s process is defined by an innate yearning for emotion and experimentation, seeking both tension and restraint to bring the inarticulate to life. By engaging in this hidden dialogue, Studio Athena Calderone projects offer a unique lens on the aesthetic world.

Athena is the best-selling author of design tome, Live Beautiful which has sold over 250K copies, holding the position of the #1 décor book on Amazon for years after its launch. Her podcast, More Than One Thing, focuses on multi-hyphenate talents like herself whose creative interests have led them on a nonlinear career path. Athena has designed collections for Beni Rugs and Crate & Barrel. Athena Calderone is also the founder of EyeSwoon, an editorially-driven, shoppable platform that offers her original and curated pieces for the home.
