A celebration of the energy of the universe and the limitlessness of life, the Planetaria Collection is inspired by Bohinc’s lifelong fascination with cosmic forms. With a playful expression of loops and semi-circular arcs, each work explores the wonderful sense of balance, order, and exuberance in planetary structure and orbit patterns. Bohinc is particularly beguiled by rings of planets like Saturn—active, dynamic structures that seem both impossibly delicate and unimaginably powerful—which she captures in the spherical and tubular shapes, encased within outer forms, that define the collection

Planetaria demonstrates Bohinc’s deft use of metalworking techniques and her signature geometric, intricate, and feminine style. She explores the combination of delicate lightweight metalwork and plump upholstery, creating substantial and comfortable forms that seem to float. Expressed with a connected design language, spherical upholstered shapes are set in the subtle lines of the graphic metalwork. Handmade from galvanized steel square rod and wool fabric, the works are dramatic, ebullient, and mesmerizing as the planets themselves

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
