When peace becomes a luxury: the Solums collection and the birth of ANONA

Solitude, darkness, peace – these are riches that are becoming increasingly scarce today. We live in a vortex of noise and constant movement: the city hums, the streets breathe with haste, and the air is thick not only with asphalt but also with exhaustion. The bustle becomes a kind of background that you get so used to, you no longer even feel its weight. We are always surrounded by the gazes of friends, colleagues, and strangers. Even simple acts, like dining alone or a quiet visit to a cinema, begin to feel uncomfortable, as if we have forgotten what it looks like to be only with ourselves.

Sometimes it feels as if we live in times where a minute of silence costs more than a new dress. Noise has become our daily companion: from early morning until late evening, we are surrounded by voices, notifications, screens, and the rhythm of haste. The bustle soaks so deeply into our skin that we no longer even register it—it simply exists.
Yet it is strange: the more action there is around us, the less of it remains within. More people, but less intimacy. More movement, but less direction. And that is why in the modern world, peace becomes a luxury. A true, unexaggerated, completely sincere wealth.

What is Solums?

Solums is a collection born from the need to return to the basics—to the earth, to one’s inner silence, to that state we often forget. The Latin word solum means “earth, foundation,” but this collection gives it another layer: solitude that heals rather than hurts.

Solums wants to remind us that solitude is not the opposite of connection. Solitude is the soil in which connections begin to grow. It is a space that must be preserved so that there is room for feelings, ideas, and authenticity.

Sometimes, to start hearing others, we must first hear ourselves.

ANONA: not an object, but a state

What fascinates most about ANONA is its origin — it was born in solitude. Not the kind of solitude that hurts, but the kind where you find your own rhythm. It wasn’t a noisy project with rushed deadlines or pressure. ANONA grew quietly, organically, like a thought that only comes when you allow yourself to stop.

What ANONA symbolizes?

Shape

Organic, soft, naturally flowing. There are no sharp corners, no artificial stiffness—only lines that resemble breathing. It looks created not by a machine, but by hands and thoughts.

Leather

Soft, sensitive, pleasant to the touch. Here, leather becomes a metaphor: for confidence, self-acceptance, and gentle courage. As if a reminder that strength can be flexible.

The essence

ANONA holds an inner world. It does not scream, it does not urge to be seen — quite the opposite. It is meant for the times when we want to be with ourselves. To take it into the forest, on a quiet walk, into an evening when we light a candle and just sit.

“ANONA — it is a personal space you can hold in your hand.”

Why do we need Solums and ANONA today?

Because we forget to stop.

Because we forget to listen.

Because we forget that peace does not mean emptiness — it means opportunity.

Solums the collection seems to say:

“You can be alone. You can rest. You can escape the noise, even if only for five minutes.”

And ANONA responds to this:

„I will be with you when you return to yourself.”
