A delectable dreamscape, Bohinc’s Afternoon Tea takes us on an introspective journey into a comforting and playful world where confections loom large and worries melt away. Conceived during the lockdown of the pandemic, Bohinc set out to create a domestic escape where we feel cocooned, loved, and safe—a place where our minds can wander to childlike fantasy and freedom. Recalling childhood tea parties and Alice’s journey through the looking glass, each work in the collection reminds of the joyous possibilities always available to us, even in the darkest times, through the sheer power of imagination

A departure from Bohinc’s usual geometric lexicon, Afternoon Tea expresses warmth through spherical language in a minimalistic form of optimism. With an irreverent exploration of scale, Afternoon Tea gives us sumptuous variety of materials and shapes—a tactile feast that brings us inside the delightfully sweet ritual of teatime. Each work looks good enough to eat: marble becomes sugar-coated sponge fingers, metalwork become bonbons on cocktail sticks, upholstery becomes a melting bowl of ice cream. And despite its conception in isolation, Afternoon Tea reminds us of the simple pleasure coming together to indulge and imagine with those we love

LARA BOHINC

Lara Bohinc

Born Ljubljana, Slovenia

A Slovenian-born multidisciplinary artist based in London, Bohinc creates functional sculptural works for living spaces. A passionate believer in the universality of good design, Bohinc is fascinated by the idea of “ancient modernity” or “future past,” and seeks to create timeless objects that cannot be placed within a certain age. Her works are emotional, instinctive, yet functional and informed by a deep knowledge of art and design history. Unbounded by any single aesthetic vocabulary or palette of materials, Bohinc’s signature style is grounded in the use of the finest materials, and an obsession with deconstruction and reconfiguration of pure geometric forms

Often drawing inspiration from the planets and their orbits, as well as the unruly, voluptuous forms found in the natural world, Bohinc’s works express lightness and solidity, grace and assertiveness. Bohinc’s ability to create work with iconic beauty is rooted in her familiarity with materials and manufacturing approaches. While retaining a deep respect for the traditional craftsmanship, she also draws on her knowledge of innovative industrial techniques to achieve a functional, contemporary elegance

Bohinc studied industrial design in her hometown of Ljubljana, Slovenia, before pursuing an MA in metalwork at The Royal College of Art in London, where she still works and lives. Having become one of the most acclaimed jewelry designers in the world after a decade at Cartier, she embarked on creating functional pieces for living. In 2016, founded her studio to dedicate her practice to object and furniture design

Bohinc has successfully shown bodies of work at Milan Design Week, Design Miami and at London Design Festival in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022, and has also exhibited various works at international shows including PAD, Nomad, Salon Art & Design, and the Eye of the Collector. In 2018, the Museum for Architecture & Design in Ljubljana, Slovenia presented retrospective solo exhibition of her work. In 2023, she won the Miami Design District Commission. Bohinc was awarded an MBE in 2012 for her contributions to fashion and design
