Rove Concepts and Maria Sharapova Collaborate on Furniture Collection

We know her as a tennis champion, but did you know Maria Sharapova also has a keen eye for design? Riffing on her own effortless, Japanese-
inspired home by the beach, the star athlete teamed up with Rove Concepts to produce her inaugural furniture collection, Maria, an organic-modern assemblage of nubby natural fabrics and rounded shapes. There are six living room pieces, including a sofa and bench with walnut-veneer frames upholstered in an exclusive velvety fabric, a jute rug, a coffee table and side table in glass-reinforced concrete, and a sculptural walnut floor lamp with a dome-shape linen shade. “I would describe this collection as comfortable and minimal with beautiful textures,” Sharapova says. “I wanted the pieces to feel timeless so that if you already have a home that’s been furnished, they fit in without having to build an entirely new design plan.”
