Clara Bona

Clara Bona is a Milanese architect and journalist, born and raised in Milan. She graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1988 and in advertising graphics a year later, has been a registered professional journalist since 1994, and in 1998 co-founded studio98 with Elisabetta Pincherle and Betti Sperandeo, leading the practice on her own since 2021.

studio98 works on residential, commercial and office architecture and interiors, renovations, exhibition set-ups and styling for furniture photo shoots, starting from the idea that a house is a complex machine shaped above all by the people who live in it. Alongside the studio she writes about interiors and design for Corriere della Sera, Cook, Vivimilano, Living and Cose di Casa, and treats her Instagram profile as an extension of that narrative.
