Yinka Ilori Instagram – ✨ Exclusive launch! We worked with London-based artist Yinka Ilori for two years to develop these Oorun Didun tabletop designs. Ilori specializes in fusing his British and Nigerian heritage to tell new stories in contemporary design.
🌺 “For the Oorun Didun collection, I’ve drawn inspiration from flowers and florals,” explains Ilori. “To me, giving flowers represents love, care and affection. I wanted to translate the act of sharing love around the table into the floral motifs on the plates and bowls.”
🌿 Ilori also collaborated with MoMA and Subu to create slippers with patterns inspired by West African culture. “Some patterns specifically depict ideas of embracing the love from nature,” says Ilori. “I aimed to capture the joy we feel when we’re surrounded by plants, flowers, rivers and landscapes.” | Posted on 23/Oct/2023 19:32:02
