About
Sota is a composition of our favorite things, all connected to design, its processes and final products, their forms and meanings.
We love art when it spreads its borders into fashion, design, science and technology. And the other way around. Vintage pieces we have been collecting for years along with contemporary projects we love and support, from sneakers to clothing, but also watches, ceramics and art.
In the new age of media and hype, Sota mission is to provide a more human, progressive, cross-selling experience. All is welcome if quality is sublime, all are welcome to share new visions and dreams.

ARCHITECTURE
The store interior architecture produces an atmosphere that is both precious and discreet, moving around collectibles sneakers and objects with a vintage and inimitable workmanship. An architectural language in which every detail is carefully designed but at the same time carries an improvisational character.
The background doesn’t need to replace the objects, is instead conceived to build an “analogue”, which is capable of arousing emotions and generating an appropriate system that is coherent with the objects attitude and style.
The entrance on Via della Frezza allows people to see the whole space until the back of the shop; reflections and passages generate movements and intrusions. The floor geometry is inspired by Mondrian’s post-war artworks: the clear travertine, celebrating the city of Rome, was cut into rectangular tiles of different sizes and shapes, each ones bordered with pickled steel plates also used for hangers and other decorative elements.
The furnitures are made with metal sheet, folded by hand covering a teak core, designed to act as “neighbors” to international design icons such as the Multidão Chair by the Campana Brothers, the Campo D’Oro tables by Paolo Pallucco and Mireille Rivier, but also artworks by Tom Sachs, Giuseppe Gallo and Luigi Ontani.

ARCHIVAL REINVENT
“ARC” is an abbreviation of Archival Reinvent — collection of historical, providing technical apparel for urban men dressings. Its style and design are deeply developed under good quality, craftsmanship, sticks to detail & functionality processes.
ARC creates a healthy balance between Japanese-inspired streetwear sensibility and outdoor-inspired elements. The overall color palette leans into spectrum of earthy and neutral tones and many of the garments are fashioned with a monochromatic look. A majority of the items are crafted using Teflon — an invisible and thermosensitive fabric that has the ability to shift colors when exposed to various temperatures.
BODE NYC
Bode is a luxury menswear brand that expresses a sentimentality for the past through the study of personal narratives and historical techniques. Modern workwear silhouettes united with female-centric traditions of quilting, mending, and appliqué shape the collections. Each piece tells a story and is tailor-made.
Bode was the first female designer to show at nyfw: men’s. She’s paving the way for women entrepreneurs in the menswear industry. The brand began with a collection of one-of-a-kind garments composed entirely of antique textiles and continues to reinvigorate american menswear through the art of storytelling.
ENGINEERED GARMENTS
Engineered Garments was founded by Daiki Suzuki in New York in 1999, after taking inspiration from his years buying for the Nepenthes stores in their early stages, and combining it with his own vision.
