about bonaca

bonaca is a dalmatian/croatian word used to describe a tranquil sea: the moments when the wind and waves disappear and the water becomes a mirror.

it's the peace my grandmother misses, and the feeling i look for here in new york city.

the city and the coast seem like contrasts, but their heartbeats are guided by the same tides: their rush and their stillness, their crowds and their quiet hours.

we make thoughtful, adaptable objects that move with this rhythm. for the way you live, work, travel, and slow down. our pieces are seasonless, produced in small batches, and designed to be lived with for years.

because we believe making less means caring more, we prioritize natural materials, ethical production, and long-term use.

bonaca is an exploration of the places we return to, the objects we live with, and the rhythms that carry us between the city and the sea.
