This season, Bonia takes you on a journey into a grand oasis from their prestigious past towards the mystical horizons of their future with the Neu Romantic collection. This dreamy collection was showcased in a campaign that adopted the wealth of our homegrown talent, from Donce Floristry’s other worldly arrangements to the meticulous 3D rendering of artist Chong Yan Chuah.
Pairing a redesigned emblem with a dynamically contemporary collection, this season Bonia unveils the Neu B logo, which features the two interlaced Bs. The logo elegantly marks the beginning of a new journey while paying tribute to the brand’s heritage. The Neu B embraces Bonia’s lifelong love for Italy, the Renaissance era and famed historical sculptor, Giambalogna.
The Neu B’s font bears characteristics of the Renaissance period: ornate and bold wrought-iron lettering finished with contemporary finesse. The two interlaced Bs, one larger than the other, evoke an expansion that is synonymous with the brand’s own evolution. The monogram expresses the merging of two paths—of tradition and innovation.
Symbolizing this new journey, the Neu Romantic collection reflects on the brand’s origins and identity by paying tribute to the brand’s history of craftsmanship and appreciation of the visual arts.
By simultaneously looking outwards to the future and inwards to the past, parallel discoveries define the designs right down to each minute detail. Patterns, textures and materials take inspiration from contemporary cues whilst remaining true to the brand’s traditional ideals. The aim is bring together a reverence for the brand’s heritage with the courage to embrace new frontiers.
