The story of Theana
Theana, a home with human faces
A way of life rather than a fashion. Art rather than the zeitgeist. A reasoned manifesto to the glory of timeless creations, added values of style for here and elsewhere, now and always: Theana is a continuous universe, a coherent life-line, a puzzle of know-how, arts and crafts, all echoing a tireless wellbeing.
A fluid feminine wardrobe, followed by bags, cushions, jewellery, candles, sandals... Theana is, in fact, a virtuous circle made up of annual pieces to be combined at leisure and with pleasure... To which will be regularly added thematic capsules, favourites for a colour, a craft, an artist, a country tinted with... the Mediterranean.
Each piece has its own story, its own talents, its own soul and charm: Whether it's natural silk woven by the spinners of Sulfi in northern Greece, embroidery by African artists, cotton percale printed in Lyon in the purest tradition, a motif inspired by an artist, a candle extracted from the most vibrant Corsican maquis... Theana reconciles form and substance, the plural and the singular, memory and modernity.
This concept is constantly casting its aesthetic eye around in search of talent, techniques and workshops with which to collaborate, and together offer creation what Anat Shtark values and believes in: a human face.
ANAT SHTARK
the woman who loved others
From woman of letters to woman of style, the career ofAnat Shtark takes a number of routes that form a meandering lifeline as generous as it is luminous.
A native of the Middle East who has lived in Paris for many years, it was through psycho-sociology that she first became passionate about the Other. From lecturer at the Sorbonne to member of the Council of Europe, from associations to NGOs, everywhere she has endeavoured to give back to everyone what should belong to them: the right to freedom, to autonomy, to their own culture.
Today, this journey of encounters, journeys, discoveries and stories has reached a new stage: Anat Shtark launches TheanaIt's an unprecedented adventure, as much as a natural extension of what it's all about: it's about giving a voice and resources to the most diverse talents, perpetuating the most virtuous heritages and identities, celebrating the human element in everything... And giving everyday life what it should have: a soul. Authentic.
Clothes, scarves, cushions, bags, sandals, candles... Anat Shtark has placed the world of Theana firmly under the sign of Mediterranean cultures and inspirations. Because she herself comes from there, but above all because it's a land rich in crossroads between history and mythology, traditions and migrations, commitment and permanence, know-how and savoir vivre, light and shadow...
A happy, cosmopolitan mother, an intellectual and lover of the arts, and a tireless listener to others, Anat Shtark has created Theana in his own image: a house whose foundations are built on the energy of his convictions, his taste for beauty, his sense of otherness, the threads of memory. And the desire to share.
