Galerie: 8 Spectacular New Product Collaborations

After successful collaborations with Crate & Barrel and Beni Rugs, design tastemaker Athena Calderone has now tried her hand at wall coverings with Cadence, a collection for Calico Wallpaper. Originally conceived for her Tribeca apartment, the series draws on the patina of aged materials, focusing on the translucent surfaces of natural hides translated into wallpaper. Calderone worked closely with co-founder Rachel Cope and a French decorative painter, layering the artisan’s hand-rendered artwork with high-resolution scans of authentic textures to achieve depth and tonal variation. Fine seam lines run across the surface as a nod to historic paneling, while six colorways, from alabaster and porcelain to oxblood and espresso-toned tobacco, position Cadence as a richly considered addition to the brand’s permanent collection.
