Collection: Designers: Yinka Ilori

Yinka Ilori is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer whose bold visual language draws on his British-Nigerian heritage to convey new narratives through contemporary design. Drawing on Nigerian parables and verbal traditions, Ilori touches on many themes that resonate with a global audience.

His work focuses on the belief that art and design should be accessible to all. Humorous, provocative, and playful, his projects demonstrate how design can bring together communities and positively impact society, evoking a sense of joy and optimism. Often using the city as his canvas, he reimagines spaces to encourage community and invites audiences to engage and participate in his work and its surroundings.

 

The studio now consists of a team of color-obsessed architects and designers with the expertise and capacity to undertake large-scale architectural and interior design projects. The studio continues experimenting with the relationship between function and form, with an output between traditional art and design divisions.
