Athena Calderone, founder of EyeSwoon, has completed a renovation of her new Manhattan apartment in Tribeca, purchased in 2023 with her husband Victor and son Jivan. The full-floor space in an early 1900s building, once the executive suite of the Borden condensed milk company, blends historic elements with contemporary design influences from Art Deco and Vienna Secession. Collaborating with architect Danielle Siggerud, Calderone transformed the property previously owned by French architect Thierry Despont into a sophisticated home.
Athena Calderone has launched her first standalone furniture line, Assembler I, at The Future Perfect gallery in New York. The 14-piece collection draws from her experience designing a Tribeca apartment and incorporates French Art Deco influences with modern practicality.
