Shared Streams is about capturing the movement of matter frozen in time. It focuses on materials and forms that suggest states of flux rather than ultimate resolution: flow, melting, folding, and transformation. Across the body of work, material behaves as if alive—sagging, swelling, dripping, or crystallizing. This sense of arrested motion produces tension between softness and hardness, control and surrender, permanence and impermanence

The works evoke fluidity and softness despite being rendered in rigid, heavy stoneware ceramics. Draped and folded surfaces recall fabric or ribbons suspended in motion, while textured skins resemble lava surfaces or eroded stone. Elsewhere, forms suggest organic life: sea creatures, mushrooms, moss, lichen, or primeval organisms that feel animalistic and instinctual rather than engineered

The works operate in a liminal zone, neither fully functional objects nor purely sculptural forms. Materiality plays a central role: surfaces evoke compression, erosion, and growth, suggesting natural formations while remaining unmistakably artificial. This ambiguity situates the works between the crafted and the spontaneous, the intentional and the emergent

The series comprises vessels and illuminated pieces realized as functional sculptures, produced in sizes ranging from approximately 20 to 90 cm. All works were handmade by Lara Bohinc in London in 2025, using stoneware and porcelain

Through sustained engagement with ceramics, Bohinc came to understand clay as a material with a life of its own. Highly responsive to weather, season, and time, it remains in constant transformation. This unpredictability and impermanence generated a desire to capture movement itself. Shared Streams emerged from this impulse: a body of work that records moments of material negotiation, preserving states of flux rather than fixed resolution, and holding matter at the point where change remains visible

BIOGRAPHY

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
