The Vanguard Lani Adeoye

|VISI
ROOTED IN THE ETHOS OF CONNECTION, CARE AND SHARED HUMAN VALUES, Nigerian designer Lani Adeoye's creations embody a quiet, enigmatic elegance.
-
From meticulous craftsmanship to unconventional forms that subvert the norm while embracing African history and tradition, you can't miss a Studio Lani piece - and Studio Lani itself has become a brand that challenges misconceptions about African design, offering innovative, finely structured pieces that invite human connection and cultural celebration.
Studio Lani is a fusion of art, craft and design, taking an experimental approach and exploring ways of creating that embrace functionality while creatively transforming space.
From lighting fixtures and seating to handbags, the brand reimagines both form and function.
Winner of first prize at Milan's 2022 SaloneSatellite Awards with her groundbreaking creation RemX - a walker inspired by her grandfather, and designed to offer a dignified, aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional medical aids - Lani tends to view design through a curious and futuristic lens, and collaborate across various industries to create unconventional pieces.
