Yinka Ilori is a London based designer. He specialises in up-cycling vintage furniture, inspired by the traditional Nigerian parables and African fabrics that surrounded him as child. This past September, he create a colourful playground outside the CitizenM hotel in Shoreditch, the hotel group of which Robin Chadha is the Chief Marketing Officer. Together, they discuss what India and Nigeria have in common when it comes to design, and why it's so rare for adults to think about ‘play.'
