Yotam Ottolenghi (@ottolenghi) has collaborated with Italian artist Ivo Bisignano (@ivo_bisignano) and Belgian design label Serax (@seraxbelgium) to launch a new colourful tableware collection. Named FEAST, the collection comprises 100 pieces, all of which are designed to celebrate the sharing of food. Two main motifs dominate the design: an ‘O’-shaped brushstroke, and abstract vegetable shapes. ‘I have an obsession for the O,’ says Ivo Bisignano. ‘The O shape of a face, the O of a circle, a dot, a double dot and of course: the O of Ottolenghi.'

The @designmuseum is hosting an online showcase of its Designers in Residence, an annual programme supporting emerging designers through a ten-month residency. Four designers – Cynthia Voza Lusilu (@vozastudio), Enni-Kukka Tuomala (@ennikukka), Ioana Man (@ioana_man) and Abiola Onabule (@abiolaonabule) – began their residencies in 2020 and were asked to respond to the theme of ‘Care’.
Onabule's project drew inspiration from her Nigerian cultural heritage to explore the craft of adire, a type of indigo-dyed cloth typically made in southwestern Nigeria by Yoruba women. Her new collection, Iyá Àlàro, uses adire techniques to investigate how local West African textile designs can be redefined to resonate with contemporary fashion. Read the full story on our website now (link in bio). Imagery: Onabule's collection modelled by Oré Ajala (@oreajala) and photographed by Jessica Gianelli (@femireal_)
