Lara Bohinc MBE is a London-based designer and founder of Bohinc Studio, established in 2016. Her work spans furniture, functional sculpture, and limited-edition objects and is held in the permanent collections of SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) and Mocco Museum. In 2023, she won the Miami Design District public commission, presenting the Utopia body of work at Art Basel Miami, which is the largest public commission by Bohinc Studio to date.

Lara 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 today.

After a decade-long stint with Cartier, exploring design and sculpture through jewellery, Lara Bohinc embarked on creating functional pieces for living and in 2016 founded her studio to dedicate her practice to object and furniture design.
Bohinc's design palette ranges from small to very large, and she produces unique pieces, limited editions, and private and public commissions.

Bohinc’s obsession with materials and research has taken her around the globe, including a 2017 residency with Urushi craftsmen in Wajima, Japan. In 2018, she also completed a residency at the Bauer Hotel in Venice, working with a community of Murano glassmakers. In 2024, she participated in the International Glass Symposium in Bohemia, Czechia.

Collaborations include a textiles collection with the Swedish rug manufacturer Kasthall and Moonrise lighting collection for Brooklyn-based company Roll & Hill. In 2023, Bohinc launched a collection of vases, Peaches, in collaboration with Italian furniture company Driade. In 2025, she collaborated with Uniqka on the Betsy collection of leather tables, with Serafini on the marble tables entitled Fallen Empire, and with Phellipeau Tapissier on the Anima collection of upholstered seating. 

Bohinc Studio has successfully shown bodies of work at Milan Design Week, Design Miami, and the London Design Festival in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2025.

MAO Ljubljana, Slovenia (Museum for Architecture & Design) presented a retrospective solo exhibition of Bohinc’s work in 2018, and she has also exhibited various works at international shows including PAD, Nomad, Salon Art & Design, Design Miami and the Eye of the Collector. Her work has been acquired by SFMOMA and Moco Museum.
In 2024, Bohinc’s pieces Big Girl chair, Derriere chair and Peaches pouffe were presented at Jessica Silverman Gallery’s group show “Enthroned” and at “Seeing Red” exhibition at Phillips, London.
