The Icons - A Closing Chapter
At Sonika Studio, design does not disappear.
The Icons bring together creations from previous collections — bags designed at different moments in the studio’s journey. They are no longer part of the active line, yet remain true to our design language. Each piece was conceived as an object of design: balanced proportions, intelligent functionality, European materials, and handcrafted production in Hungary.
These pieces are available in limited quantities. They simply await those who are sensitive to them.
A selection of creations stepping aside from the active collection
DESIGN × CAMBODIAN CRAFTS
The Handwoven Collection pays homage to a fragment of tradition: Krama. Hand-woven since time immemorial, Krama is a piece of checked cotton traditionally worn in Cambodia, which has many uses.
These minimalist bags have adopted a functional design that plays with the codes of modern leather goods. Krama has thus evolved to slip into new forms, adapted to modern uses and needs.
This collection reflects the life of its designer: a kaleidoscope of encounters and inspirations drawn from mixed cultures, highlighted by objects created with love. A silent tribute but one that speaks to everyone.
AIMING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The Hand Woven Capsule Collection project is part of a solidarity, cultural and economic approach. The collection supports local craftsmanship which sustains the economy of several regions of Cambodia. It then encourages good production practices and companies that value and protect both individuals and their know-how. Finally, it contributes to the influence of a part of Cambodian history, the krama.
Why This Chapter Is Closing
Design doesn’t expire.
At Sonika Studio, a bag does not become obsolete.
Some pieces simply step aside to make room for what comes next.
Closing this chapter is a conscious design decision: to clarify the collection, affirm the vision and allow new forms to emerge.
