It’s been two years since Athena Calderone and her family sold their beloved Brooklyn home and moved into a storied Tribeca apartment, but we’re not done talking about the EyeSwoon founder’s Cobble Hill townhouse quite yet. Calderone has been holding onto many of the one-of-a-kind furniture pieces that made her old space so Instagram-worthy, and now she’s ready to pass them onto new owners. Yes, that even includes her iconic Camaleonda sofa. Here are just a few of the treasures she’s planning to part with:
The French Dining Room Credenza
Calderone scored this Jacques Adnet credenza (made from solid oak, circa 1946) at an estate sale on the coast of France, so it’s no surprise it comes with a steep $26,000 price tag. With all the detailing on the doors, it requires minimal styling up top—a stone sculpture or an organic vase will do the trick.
The Groovy Living Room Lounge Chairs
She gave this set of F815 chairs by Theo Ruth—going for $10,000—a new life by reupholstering them in a nubby cream fabric that pairs nicely with a marble coffee table and neutral sofa.
The Playful, Plastered Chandelier
Hang this contemporary fixture from an elaborate ceiling molding like Calderone and guests will have no idea what era the plaster-coated piece by Atelier Demiurge came from. It’s one of the more affordable picks of the bunch at $2,200.
The End-of-the-Bed Bench
Calderone has a thing for chic benches (remember the velvet Rodin bench she designed for Crate & Barrel?), and this one from the 1950s, going for $3,500, is the real deal.
The Murano Glass Bathroom Light
Having a freestanding tub in your bathroom is just the start of making your space spa-worthy. Topping it with a $7,500 glass and gold leaf chandelier from the 1930s can take it to the next level.
The Entryway Accent Chair
Her secret to a welcoming entryway? Give your guests a place to sit. A Giulia Guglielmo Veronesi Perla Chair reupholstered in a luxe green mohair ($5,500) will do the trick.
The Set of Kitchen Sconces
You probably remember Calderone’s very photogenic kitchen and, notably, its lack of upper cabinets. Instead of going heavy on millwork, she achieved a breezy vibe with a long marble shelf and these mid-century wall lamps mounted above it. She’s letting go of all four for $6,500.

That’s not all: She’ll also be hosting a studio sale of archive props, decorative pieces, and pre-loved objects at more affordable price points on Wednesday, June 4 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 291 Broadway, Unit 1105, in New York City.
