His work is a celebration of dreams with vivid color and playful patterns, adorned with messages of love, unity and hope.
And it’s not just pretty to look at. ILORI’s background in product and furniture design allows him to merge utility with creativity to produce aesthetically striking functional concepts. Whether it’s chairs, small objects or large installations, he creates a distinctive visual universe with every project he embraces. Take a look at Yinka ILORI’s interpretation of a skateboard art deck in his first ever collaboration with THE SKATEROOM:
UNITED WE STAND UNITED WE FALL
The power of togetherness can move mountains - it’s a belief instilled in the artist early on by his parents. This solo deck holds an inspiring message of unity, packaged in a lively form with geometric patterns and contrasting neon hues.
IF YOU CAN DREAM THEN ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Yinka ILORI’s own trajectory is proof that, with enough determination, commitment and the courage to dream, anything you envision can become reality. The title sentence was first showcased on a series of murals designed by ILORI after the pandemic. They appeared around England to reignite a feeling of hope and optimism among the people.
YOU ARE MY WORLD LOVING YOU IS EASY
Sometimes love is about grand gestures and this high-spirited triptych is a statement like no other. The imagery is reminiscent of the original flower-power aesthetic, with the Earth as a central feature, radiating sun-like beams. The creative power of love and sun are ever-prominent in ILORI’s oeuvre, and this edition serves as a perfect representation.
