Domus by Yinka Ilori
Domus’ ‘Magical Word’ installation was designed by British artist and designer Yinka Ilori. Self-proclaimed as colour obsessed the Domus design is a feast for the eyes. Described as an ‘immersive forest’ the colours, textures and patterns show the versatility of the tile collection with tiled trees adding vertical presence. I want allll the tiles.

Expansive and elegant the design explores the lifecycle of water and our dependence on it in a multi-sensory experience’ – Solus Ceramics. In collaboration with green hydrogen pioneers Iris Cermaica Group and architects Szczepaniak the installation has an irrigation system above with multiple threads leading water to a glass topped table at the centre. The water is illuminated reflecting the movement of the water on the floor which was a beautiful detail.
