Lara Bohinc

Lara Bohinc MBE studied Industrial Design at the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts, then received an MA in Metalwork and Jewelry at Royal College of Art London. After graduation, she won the British Fashion Council’s New Generation Award. She was design consultant for many luxury brands — Gucci, Lanvin, Montblanc, and Cartier. In 1997, she launched her jewelry line which embraced graphic and linear forms, followed by an accessories line in 2005.

The Solaris table is comprised of four stacked marble plates banded in metal which rotate from a closed circle to expand reaching nearly double its size. Edition of 10.

But it was in 2014, when Bohinc began designing furniture. Her first piece was the Solaris Kinetic Table, which debuted at Wallpaper “Handmade” exhibition in 2014.

Two years later, she founded her studio. Her experience designing jewelry translated well into furniture encased in metal.

The Orbit series marked Bohinc’s first exploration in chair design. She was inspired by the shapes of planets. Stunning designs.

Her design for “Friendship Bench” was commissioned by Kensington and Chelsea council and dedicated to local activist Susie Parsons, who passed in 2015 and spent a lifetime working to improve conditions for women.
