This summer, a collaboration between fashion designer Evi Grintela and Athens-based design studio Rhea Kalo offers a refined take on the rituals of Mediterranean living. Blending Grintela’s fashion-forward aesthetic with Rhea Kalo’s contemporary craftsmanship, the collection brings together ceramics and textiles that feel both timeless and intimately modern. At the heart of the collection are Molly and Kora—two of Grintela’s signature motifs—reinterpreted across sculptural vases, hand-thrown tableware, and finely embroidered linens. The result is a collection that evokes sunlit terraces, shared meals, and the quiet elegance of summer days. “This collaboration is a celebration of shared values: elegance, craftsmanship, and a deep-rooted love for design that tells a story,” notes Grintela, whose work is known for its distinctive prints and tailored silhouettes. Each piece is handmade in Athens, reflecting a commitment to slow design and intentional beauty. From statement ceramics to everyday linens, the objects are designed to be lived with—integrated into the rhythms of home life and imbued with personal meaning over time. “We wanted to create pieces that feel timeless but also intimate—objects that become part of everyday rituals,” adds Rhea Kalo. Available now at evigrintela.com and rheakalo.com, the collection invites a return to thoughtful simplicity: objects that bring warmth, character, and a sense of continuity to the table, season after season.
