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

Anima
A sculptural collection of limited edition works, Anima is inspired by dreams of nature, symbolizing a desire for peace and balance. Each work transports us into a surreal landscape of rolling hills, lake shores, and organic forms, dissolving the boundaries between reality and imagination. The silhouettes, defined by soft curves and twin peaks with a central dip, subtly echo natural landscapes while evoking the subconscious symbolism of lips, adding a poetic depth to their sculptural elegance
At the heart of the collection are three upholstered seating works—the Anima Sofa, Armchair, and Occasional Chair—created in collaboration with Maison Phelippeau, a revered French upholstery house known for its artisanal expertise. Handcrafted in London with a zero-carbon footprint, each work is crafted entirely from natural materials, including Vanadium steel coils, horsehair, and wool, enveloped in pure alpaca wool by Inata, a sustainable French textile brand
Complementing the seating is the Anima Coffee Table, crafted in Portugal from solid mahogany. Its floating, organic surfaces rest on muscular, rock-like formations, shaped through a fusion of 5D laser cutting and hand chiseling, creating a striking balance between refined craftsmanship and raw materiality
Exclusively for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, Anima debuts at Villa Bagatti Valsecchi during Milan Design Week 2025
