YINKA ILORI OBJECTS

Summer is coming! Bring a touch of serenity into your home with hand-painted ombré stoneware tablewares inspired by nature’s unexpected color palette. The ribbed rim echoes ripples of water while the gradient captures shifting sky tones.

Yinka Ilori Objects transform everyday home goods into vibrant, story-rich pieces designed to inspire joy, reflection, and imagination. Rooted in Yinka Ilori’s Nigerian and British heritage, each design blends color, memory, and uplifting affirmations into functional art for the home. Crafted in collaboration with global artisans, these limited-edition objects are made to be lived with, loved, and passed down through generations.

Yinka Ilori inspired nails... hand-painted by Jackie @starnails_deptford . (@trin.ny29 ) Jackie told me she's a huge fan of @yinka_ilori 's M&S shopping bag and has taken it on her travels around the world, meanwhile I'm a Yinka superfan and adore his colourful patterns inspired by his Nigerian roots. I've visited his installations across London and even in Dundee. When I showed Jackie a moodboard of some of my favourite Yinka prints she used it to create her own Yinka tribute in the form of nail art. I have to say - both are extremely talented artists! My mind is blown by them and I'm excited they'll be brightening up my life over the coming weeks 🙌🏽😍🌈. #colourfulnails #yinkaillori #summernails2026

Bold colour is kind of Yinka Ilori’s thing. 🌈 But it’s never just for show. EPIN RERE is part of his homeware collection, inspired by the movement of water and the warmth of sunset light. Each piece is handmade in Portugal and designed to add rhythm and bucket-loads of personality to a space. Loud in all the right ways. ❤️🔥 @yi_objects @yinka_ilori #makers #designerlife #design #craft #africandesign

Flamboyance of Flamingo Playground // Parsloes Park Play Area Designed by British - Nigerian @yi_objects and set within Parsloes Park, the Flamingo Playground transforms a conventional play area into a vivid landscape of movement and color. Rather than relying on standard equipment, the project deploys sculptural forms and a deliberately expressive palette to construct an environment that is immediately legible to children and unmistakably public. The flamingo figures operate as both symbols and spatial markers. Their exaggerated scale and repetition generate orientation, while their playful abstraction avoids literal theming. Importantly, the design balances visual exuberance with spatial clarity. Open sightlines, accessible surfaces, and clearly defined zones ensure safety and inclusivity, allowing the playground to function as a social condenser for the park. Design and photos @yinka_ilori

We are so proud to announce an exciting new collaboration with the brilliant British-Nigerian artist and designer @yinka_ilori 🖌️ created in celebration of his vibrant ‘Objects’ collection. Using designs from Yinka’s artwork, we have created a bespoke collection of striking flower biscuits, exclusive to Bloomingdales, New York 🍪🎨 The vibrant biscuits take inspiration from wildflowers, and how they reflect back, the people of New York City, defined by their resilience, colour, and spontaneity. As Yinka puts it, “Like wildflowers, their creativity unfolds and blossoms when they embrace the present moment and nurture their unique creative process.” 🌻 And as members of Walpole we loved his Walpole cover on the new book of British Luxury and feature exploring  the meaning behind his work, and deep inspiration from the rich culture in Lagos. @yi_objects @yinka_ilori @bloomingdales @walpole_uk

Stand tall like a 🍍🍍🍍 The joys of tablescaping are manifold when you have choice ceramics, glassware and flowers. Artist Yinka Ilori goes a long way to deliver joy with his Erin Rere Ripple Platter in the sunset shades of golden orange and yellow. This stoneware piece is boldly geometric and patterned with ribbed detailing. The line is made by a small maker in Portugal and finished by hand. We foresee convivial evenings ahead with sharing dishes (try yellow courgette tart or cherry tomato topped crostini) topped off by pineapple and mango to top it off. Let the colours do the talking. @yinka_ilori @yi_objects #yinkaobjects #culturalcraft #epinrere #portugueseceramics #tablescape #yellow
