The project

Preserving the world’s wisdom, through design.

Our mission: to preserve and pass on the world’s folk wisdom through objects worn every day.

Sona was born from a conviction: a proverb is a condensed idea, polished by centuries of use. The garment is only its medium — wisdom is the product.

We present each proverb with its original language, translation, meaning and context, honoring the sources and traditions that carried them.

Beginning with African proverbs, Sona aims to become a global library of cultural wisdom.
