SONIAH

The SONIAH collection reflects Victoria Yakusha's vision of living in harmony with nature and embracing life in sync with solar rhythms. Rooted in sustainable, contemporary design, the collection draws on the timeless connection our ancestors shared with the natural elements: Earth, Sun, Water, and Air. The lamps, defined by their primitive yet sophisticated forms, embody the artistry of refined craftsmanship while taking inspiration from Ukraine’s sunflower fields—an enduring symbol of strength, resilience, and light.

Each piece in the collection tells a story of connection to the land and respect for its resources. At its core is ZTISTA, Yakusha’s signature eco-conscious material, developed to embody her commitment to sustainability and circular design. This innovative material—a blend of clay, recycled paper, wood chips, and natural fibers—is sculpted by hand to reflect the raw, organic textures found in nature. Lightweight yet durable, ZTISTA is biodegradable, merging beauty with responsibility. It transforms each lamp into a tactile, living object that resonates with the earth’s natural imperfections and resilience

More than functional lighting, the SONIAH Floor Lamps stand as sculptures—works of art that invite deeper reflection. When showcased, they evoke fields of sunflowers instinctively reaching for the Sun, a timeless metaphor for life’s enduring light dispelling darkness. In this way, the lamps not only illuminate a space but also reconnect us with nature's cycles, offering a quiet reminder of balance, continuity, and the profound rhythms of the Earth.

The SONIAH collection has been celebrated at prestigious international exhibitions, including its most recent presentation at Melbourne Design Week 2024. These pieces continue to inspire, symbolizing a return to simplicity, harmony, and sustainable living—principles deeply embedded in Victoria Yakusha’s work.
