The Maker
Hi! I'm Bo.
The name
Not a studio name.
A family one.
Bo isn't a studio name. It's what my nephew Matías called me when he was learning to talk, he couldn't quite get to De-bo-rah, so he landed on Bo.
He's nine now. His younger sibling, his cousins, their parents; they all call me Tía Bo.
I became Tía Bo before I became a designer so that felt right to keep.
The maker
From floor plans
to small objects.
I trained as an architect. I've spent years designing spaces, thinking in floor plans, materials, proportions. I love it.
But I kept coming back to small objects. Things you could hold. Things that lived on a table, not a blueprint.
When I moved to Milan, I thought the urge would pass. Turns out it wasn't the place. It was me.
Why candles
The simplest object
that does something.
Or it gets a little obsessed, in the best way.
A candle holds a shape, then it lets go of it. I like that.
Each one is made by me, from start to finish. No batches. No rush.
