ABOUT
Emilia
Hi, I'm Emilia. I was born in Vilnius to a Lithuanian mother and a French father, and my teenage
years were shaped by life across Luxembourg, Belgium, Paris, Vilnius, and later the Netherlands,
where I studied architecture. Experiencing so many places at a young age deeply influenced the
way I relate to space and belonging. Each move sparked my interest in interior and spatial
design. With every new home, I learned how to make a space feel personal and lived-in. Alongside
this, I developed a strong appreciation for thrifting, inspired by my mother's love for flea
markets and second-hand finds. At Bonatelier, these interests come together. I work with what
already exists—furniture, buildings, materials, and art—to create spaces that feel personal,
thoughtful, and grounded in their context. Drawing from the places I've lived, I design with the
intention of bringing identity and meaning to each home.
Augusta
Hi, I'm Augusta. I was born and raised in Vilnius, where my interest in art and spatial thinking
first developed. I later moved to Wales to study architecture, and my academic and professional
journey has since taken me from Vilnius to Toronto, Boston, and the Netherlands, where I
graduated with a Master of Architecture from Delft University of Technology. Throughout these
experiences, I have engaged in a wide range of creative practices, from curatorial and
research-based work to hands-on building. Experimentation lies at the core of my approach,
allowing each project to respond sensitively to its context. I am particularly interested in
cartography—tracing space across time and scale, and uncovering unexpected connections. Living
and working in different places has shaped the way I connect architectural theory with practice.
At Bonatelier, I explore space as a narrative. I am driven by the creation of homes that reflect
their context and origin, spaces where inhabitants feel a sense of belonging that goes beyond
function alone.
