The newly launched collection comprises a series of multi-coloured tiles, injecting a sense of fun and playfulness to interiors, as realised by London-based multi-disciplinary artist and designer Yinka Ilori and Domus.

‘We were drawn to working with Yinka after seeing his wondrous style applied across numerous architectural and design projects in London and beyond over the last few years,’ says Jon Newey, CEO of Domus. ‘His unique application of colour and pattern, which aims to improve the everyday, seemed a perfect fit with tile design – an enduring addition to any interior space.’

True to Ilori’s vibrant use of colour, abstract forms and bold patterns, the Yinka Ilori x Domus tile collection presents a continuation of Ilori’s design work and homeware to date.

Drawing on inspiration from nature and sunlight alongside his British-Nigerian heritage, two ranges – Glaze and Screen – capture the dynamic, geometric lines and shapes used across traditional African patterns and architecture.

‘Collaborating with Domus on my debut tile collection presented an opportunity to explore how we can encourage creative expression through surface design and inject joy and optimism into pockets of the home,’ explains Ilori.

‘Working closely with the workshop in Portugal, we have been able to develop two beautiful tile ranges that centre around the idea of being present, while celebrating nature. I’m excited to see how people adapt my work in their own personal way.’

‘We were drawn to working with Yinka after seeing his wonderous style applied across numerous architectural and design projects in London and beyond over the last few years,’ adds Jon Newey, CEO of Domus.

‘His unique application of colour and pattern which aims to improve the everyday seemed a perfect fit with tile design, an enduring addition to any interior space. Developing Yinka’s characterful work into an extensive collection across both ceramic and porcelain has been an inspiring process.’
