Olaniyi Studio -  is an innovative design studio that thrives on multidisciplinary relationships to actualise ideas around themes of environmentalism. We question how art, architecture, and anthropological research can create experimental environments that challenge the way we experience geological conditions, and living ecosystems. Our core mission is to expand  environmental awareness through design creativity, collective collaboration, and speculative imagination. We design architectural pavilions, bioplastic homeware  products, and garments that use closed loop systems to produce. Each component of our design process starting from idea to production to consumer experience  is produced in an ethical manner in relational to environmental resources while using industrial material recycling to create new uses for products that react against pollution and ecosystem degradation.  http://olaniyi.studio

Yussef Agbo-Ola is the founder and creative director at Olaniyi Studio.  His multidisciplinary artistic practice creates interpretations of natural energy systems through interactive experiments. These experiments focus on depicting the multi-layered connections between, an array of sensory environments. The biological, anthropological, perceptual, and microscopic environment in which an organism inhabits are all research catalyst for creative expression. At the heart of his practice is a drive for exploration, and learning through listening, documenting, and looking at a series of environmental relations on different sensory scales. His aim is to use a diverse multidisciplinary research method, to reinterpret local knowledge, and its environmental importance cross culturally. This reaction is then expressed through architectural pavilions, photographic journalism, garments, interactive performance, digestion, experimental sound design, writing, or a quiet observing.
