Yinka Ilori Designs Brabantia Home Collection of Bins and Ironing Boards
Yinka Ilori, a designer of British-Nigerian descent, has launched the Home Collection for the Dutch company Brabantia, showcasing vibrant designs on practical items. This collection consists of a dual-compartment bin on legs, pedal bins in both five-litre and 30-litre sizes, an ironing board with two different covers, a drying rack, and a gift set that includes a water bottle, breakfast bowl, and salad bowl. Ilori's goal is to "find the magic in the everyday," focusing on the aesthetics of daily-use products. The bins and ironing board covers display a graphic design with orange lines creating a striped effect. He perceives this collection as a way to personalize one’s living space and has a particular fondness for ironing. A toilet brush design is next on his agenda.
