Design London is excited to announce British-Nigerian artist Yinka Ilori as its headline speaker and chief collaborator; he will open the talks programme and welcome guests through a kaleidoscopic tunnel of colour inviting them to take a seat in his joyfully designed Transparency in shades of colour.

“I'm super excited to be part of Design London’s launch and to design my first ever dedicated talks space; meeting people and expressing my creativity is what I love most and this brings the two together. Community and creating spaces to make people feel safe and comfortable is so important, especially this year, and with Design London being the U.K.’s first major design show, it's the perfect environment to unite, celebrate and uplift one another.” Yinka Ilori, Artist
