Like postcards, every rug in Salon preserves a memory from museums in Vienna to apartments in Paris.
The colours in our Salon collection, designed in collaboration with Athena Calderone, feel like scenes caught in passing — Paris at dusk, and Milan through a modernist lens: terrazzo underfoot, pale stone, and clean lines warmed by late light.
Capturing, in essence, the architecture of a memory, this subtle yet expressive collection finds its rhythm in the sinuous curves and geometric glamour of 1920 and 1930s design. Through Athena's eyes, Milanese window panes and Parisian theatres shapeshift with grace into lush pools of inspiration beneath your feet.
The atmospheric American Bar in Vienna was designed by Adolf Loos, and features an epic marble ceiling pattern. Secession brings the ceiling to the ground.
The striking, elegant facade of a building designed by architect and designer Josef Hoffman is echoed in this rug's stunningly simple design.
Looking back in order to look forward, each style in Athena's Salon collection is a reverberation of site, form, and feeling.
Avorio — Italian for ivory — carries the warmth and tactility of a Henry Moore plaster maquette. At once modern and echoing the salons of the 1920s, each rug holds the mystique of an artist’s study. Shades of Oxblood, Gris, and Grille form both frame and interior, offering an entry point into another place and time.
The iconic Italian architect Piero Portaluppi installed a series of glass doors in a Milanese apartment called Casa Radici-di Stefano that led to the Tür design.
Travel to Vienna and Paris, through time and history, without ever leaving home. The colors and designs of Salon are utterly transporting- each an invitation to explore.

Fictions and photos of stones with artist Luis Úrculo
Artist, teacher and set designer Luis Úrculo turns fantastical ideas into tangible realities. For the unveiling of our first collection with Studio KO, he designed a space that will be remembered as an archive of archives. We asked him a few questions over email in the early spring of 2025 after the show's closing in Milan.
