The Icons series is a talk shop that presents emerging designers and enthusiasts with an opportunity to learn from industry experts, the values and impacts of design and how to overcome the challenges that are prevalent in the African Design Industry.

In our first series, we present Tosin Oshinowo– brilliant architect, product designer, and lover of lines. Tosin Oshinowo is the architect behind the design and execution of the Maryland mall and founder of the Aso-Oke inspired lifestyle furniture brand, Ile Ila (House of Lines). Tosin’s design is as fluid in identity as it is in practice. While her architecture is usually an afrominimalist blend of clean geometric lines and mute colors, her furniture is an exciting blend of bright colors and homely contours.
