—
In the early 1960s, Athenian designer Nikos Vassos began studying how the architectural language of ancient Greece could inform modern furniture. Working from a studio near the Acropolis, he spent his mornings sketching the rhythm of colonnades, the softened geometry of archways, and the quiet symmetry found throughout classical structures.
His aim was to translate these enduring principles into functional pieces for contemporary living — forms defined not by ornament, but by balance, proportion, and clarity. The earliest prototypes featured fluted surfaces, grounded bases, and gently curved profiles that echoed the serenity of marble corridors and sunlit porticos.
From this exploration, the Athena Collection emerged: a sideboard, dining table, and desk unified by architectural restraint and sculptural harmony. Each piece carried the calm presence of ancient design, reinterpreted through a modern lens.
When Rove revisited Vassos's studies decades later, the collection was refined but remained true to its origins — timeless, structured, and quietly monumental.
Imaginary Vintage No. 057: Athena — modern forms shaped by the legacy of Greek architecture.

Very easy to deal with Rove when there are issues. Have bought from them before and plan on buying again.
Website is well managed. Photos are well taken with different colours and options popping up. Online platform was great and easy to go through! Looking forward to the new tables and chairs.
Great customer support.
I shopped for my family room sectional sofa and it was easy to navigate
I love that Rove offers an annual membership that gives you incredible discounts and perks all year long! For a super reasonable fee, you can save a lot of money on gorgeous, high quality furniture. I can't wait to treat myself to all those items I've been eyeing for months!
Overall happy with the products I received. The general quality and aesthetic of the products are really nice. All items feel heavy duty and high quality. We will see how everything holds up over time as I just received them. My order was quite large; I ordered the Hunter Bed, Hunter Nightstands, Liza Coffee Table, Norman Counter Stools, and Dresden Modular Sectional. I experienced really long delays in shipping/receiving my products. Ordered Since July and received everything but 1 item in November. I imagine this is mostly due to covid slowing down their inventory though. The side table for the Dresden sectional I received arrived damaged (broken drawer mechanism, and cracked wood), I have already reached out to them hoping for a replacement on this soon. Also there is a dent/blemish on the corner of the frame for the Hunter Bed, likely caused from shipping damage, but is relatively small. The concierge service has already been fast to respond and copy me in emails when ever I contacted them.
