Athena Calderone has collaborated with Beni on a perfectly imperfect Moroccan rug collection.
You’d think she’s forever fascinated with the flawless. But look closely at the objects she posts and publishes, and you’ll notice a vintage table with a nick, a potted vase that’s a misshapen sphere, and floral arrangements with unwieldy leaves branching out every which way.. Instead, she wanted what she calls “broken symmetry.”
Inspired by the irregular painting patterns of Agnes Martin and the “emotional architecture” of Luis Barragán, Calderone’s line of geometric designs explores “the idea of having a rhythm and harmony then breaking it.” One rug, for example, has three parallel lines on its left side, but not on the right. Another has two opposing, differently shaped rectangles , while a third is adorned in oh-so-slightly off-kilter rows of squares.

The collection, which is called Broken Symmetry, is available online today. It’s also an exciting step for Calderone, who has now evolved from curating well-appointed interior spaces to crafting the very products that inhabit them. Her lesson learned? “It’s really important to put yourself out there and take risks.”Boundaries Rug in Sage and Natural
