For the 2019 Edition of 1-54 Contemporary African Art fair, we were commissioned to design the lounge area. Our installation was inspired by Nigerian Batiq Textiles and the craftsmanship of cloth as a backdrop and source of inspiration. We looked to unique concepts in Yoruba heritage & African Art with influences from the works of Nigerian art pioneer & artist, Chief Nike Okundaye.

In order to make this experience even more complete, we collaborated with acclaimed London’s first Nigerian tapas restaurant, Chuku’ to craft a menu featuring authentic Nigerian flavours such as caramel kuli kuli chicken wings, beef ayamase and moi-moi vegan tarts.
