As a designer, Yinka Ilori has made an impression on the public with his extravagant approach to color and form. His latest endeavor extends to a fashion store that is located in London's Chelsea neighborhood. Titled 'Happy House,' the business--owned by Mira Mikati--is an appropriate outlet for Yinka Ilori's nuanced and playfully maximalist vision.
From multi-colored walls to a patterned floor, the layout of Happy House definitely becomes cheerfully busy ones Yinka Ilori has made his park. To balance out the atmosphere, minimalist clothing racks were used.
In addition, the fashion boutique has a rear garden, where Yinka Ilori installed "a multi-colored seesaw," which delivers an even more intensified whimsical element to the overall ambiance of the business.
