Yinka Ilori Instagram – In honour of Frieze London and Black History Month, we are delighted to have partnered with British-Nigerian multi-disciplinary artist, designer, and entrepreneur @yinka_ilori, who has has created a one-of-a-kind Murano glass sculpture titled, ‘One Life: Igbesi Aye Kan,’ – inspired by the Calabash tree – a symbol central to West African culture. The joyful glass calabash be on display at the Club throughout Frieze.
Last Friday, Yinka and Tim Marlow OBE, Director of the Design Museum hosted an enlightening conversation in the Main Dining Room that discussed the unique perspective of being a black creative in London, the profound influence of design on communities, and the essential role of humour within the realm of art.
Further testament to the fact that collaboration yields magical results, is the dessert that Ilori dreamed up with The Birley Clubs’ pastry chefs, The Dancing Heart – A moreish combination of coconut parfait, chin chin shortbread and plantain mousse. Members and guests can enjoy this delightful sweet treat until 15th October. | Posted on 10/Oct/2023 20:12:20
