Spotting a vintage gate on a stroll through Paris, Athena Calderone was inspired to recreate its refined geometry in this sophisticated rug. A slender outline borders the muted blue rug, a counterpoint to the bold stepped frame that defines the design. Understated and refined, the lines have a subtle presence due to the tonal palette. Skilled craftspeople weave silk-like fibers by hand, creating a rug with a lustrous sheen and a supersoft feel underfoot (making it especially perfect for the bedroom).Our collaboration with interior designer and bestselling author Athena Calderone brings you a collection of pieces that honor refined and elegant forms. Inspired by the timeless shapes and palettes of the 1930s, Crate x Athena fine-tunes scale, elevated materials and comfort to fit seamlessly into your home.Try it on first.
