Icônik - women in art

Objects to celebrate women artists: when art leaves the museum and enters our daily lives!

They painted, sculpted, created. Yet their works occupy a tiny space in museums.
Icônik, a new French ethical design brand, is giving these forgotten female artists their place. From October 2025, it will launch a first collection of everyday objects.

Claire Casedas, scenographer and exhibition designer, imagined Icônik while she was based in Roubaix (59), at the foot of the textile spinning mills.
Working for museums around the world, she observes the persistent invisibility of women artists. Icônik was born from the desire to shine the spotlight on these women artists who are shaking up the codes, in their own way.
The objective: to share their stories through aesthetic, educational and committed objects.

Icônik includes:

- illustrated tote bags and shopping bags made in France,
- a "women artists" box containing several everyday objects,
- seeded notebooks made from cotton textile waste,
- bookmarks that slip a little history between two chapters.

Icônik is contemporary design, responsible manufacturing, and above all a tangible tribute to those we too often forget. To offer or use these objects is to proudly carry the history of women artists.

“Icônik was born from the desire to make women's art accessible on a daily basis. “Each tote bag, each notebook tells a story, opens a conversation and shows what we don’t see enough in museums,” explains Claire Casedas, the founder.
