STUDIO BOVTI
INNA STROKOUS & MARIUS SCHWALD
Founded in 2024 by Inna Strokous and Marius Schwald, Studio Bovti is a Stuttgart-based interdisciplinary design studio working across interior architecture, collectible design, and bespoke objects. The studio brings together architectural thinking, material experimentation, and craftsmanship — moving fluidly between the scale of an object and the scale of a space.
Inna Strokous, born in Ukraine, studied architecture and shapes the studio’s expressive direction through her strong sensitivity to material, contrast, and detail. Her experience as an interior designer and creative director informs an approach that combines intuition with a precise understanding of atmosphere, identity, and spatial composition.
Marius Schwald, born in Germany, studied interior architecture and developed an early interest in craftsmanship, fabrication, and the translation of ideas into built form. His experience in project management brings structural clarity, technical understanding, and a strong focus on realization to the studio’s work.
Together, they understand design as a continuous process between concept and making. Their complementary perspectives form the foundation of Studio Bovti — an interdisciplinary practice in which architecture, interiors, furniture, and objects are developed as interconnected parts of one design language.
Studio Bovti develops interior architecture defined by precision, contrast, and a strong sensitivity to atmosphere. Each project begins with an open dialogue — with the people, the use, the cultural context, and the specific qualities of a place.
From private residences to hospitality, retail, work environments, and exhibitions, every project is approached individually. Deliberate contrasts — raw and refined, reduced and expressive — are translated into spatial concepts with depth, clarity, and identity.
Informed by our work in collectible design, we understand interiors as carefully composed environments in which material, proportion, light, furniture, and detail form a coherent whole. Craftsmanship plays a central role, allowing ideas to be carried through from concept to physical realization with precision.
Projects are guided through a structured process aligned with the HOAI service phases, from the initial concept to detailed planning and execution. Working closely with selected craftspeople and specialized partners, our focus lies on high-quality interior fit-outs that are atmospheric, functional, and enduring.

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE -
COLLECTIBLE DESIGN —
BETWEEN MATERIAL AND MEANING
Alongside interior architecture, Studio Bovti develops handcrafted unique pieces positioned between sculpture and function. Material, contrast, and transformation form the foundation of this part of the studio’s practice.
Each object emerges through direct engagement with matter — shaped by experimentation, intuition, and a close understanding of material behaviour. Rather than treating material as a surface alone, Studio Bovti explores its physical and emotional qualities and the narratives that can emerge through form.
The collections articulate this approach in different ways. Cartapesta explores the tension between weight and fragility through the combination of natural stone and papier-mâché, while Kinoko translates organic diversity into sculptural forms that move between softness and monumentality.
All works are produced by hand as unique pieces. Positioned within contemporary collectible design, they extend beyond pure utility and develop a distinct presence of their own — where material, craftsmanship, function, and narrative converge.
