Yinka Ilori x Bulgari Hotel London
Bulgari Hotel London

To celebrate its first decade in London, the Hotel has commissioned artist Yinka Ilori to reimagine the afternoon tea stand as a sculptural work of art. Yinka’s geometric designs and bold visual style will find new expression in the “Yinka Ilori x Bulgari Hotel London”

“We were drawn to Yinka for his obsession with colour, the distinctly optimistic spirit of his bold and contemporary work, and its celebration of the diversity of the capital,” said Kostas Sfaltos, General Manager, Bulgari London. “That celebration of colour draws a parallel with Bulgari’s heritage as the master of coloured gems, and the colourful design changes we have made to Bulgari Hotel London over the past year.”

“I am extremely excited to have worked with Bulgari Hotel London for its momentous 10th anniversary,” commented Ilori.’My designs for this collaboration celebrate London’s cultural mosaic and the joy of coming together over food. The tea stands are based on the geometry of the sphere and the meeting of different cultures, and I hope people will gather at the hotel and enjoy a vibrant and colourful dining experience through the afternoon tea.”
