Athena Calderone designed the Retenue rug as an exercise in restraint—keeping the design exquisitely simple and resisting the temptation to always add more. The result is subdued elegance, with a subtle geometric border (love the stepped corners) in tonal rust red. Handwoven by skilled artisans using silk-like fibers, Retenue gains depth and a touch of glamour from its lustrous sheen.

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.
