obaniyi says of his handiwork:
'I wanted to prove a point that it is not only the educated elite that can make positive changes in society. we, the artisans also have talents to
effect a change and make a positive impact in the society. that is why I decided that I too must do something that will make people to recognize
me and know me across the whole world and by extension prove to the world that african and indeed the entire black race have very talented people.'

OKUMDESK
desk 2012
for dwr dwell live/work contest
finalist for dwr dwell live/work contest
My workspace is a place of meditation and the desk is the centerpiece that creates an effective and organized workspace. More importantly it should provide a space to comfortably use your electronics, to write, and to rest. The Okum Desk was designed with ergonomics in mind and to conform to the angle of our bodies via a soft, slanted ledge that eliminates any abrupt edges. Using molded plywood, the principle design feature is the seamless curve of the low shelf, which provides storage for stationery and keeps things such as a task light out of the way. The base is made with intersecting powder-coated steel rods and tubes, and continues the underlying exploration of structures that do more with less. The legs easily change heights without additional components. The Okum Desk is the distillation of familiar methods, materials and structure, translated into a form and function to address our present needs.

Una mesa.
'Clip' is my piece from a furniture paper that was separated into two stages. The first stage was the concept generation which had to be completed with a 1:5 scale model and a full scale detail. The second stage was refining the design and producing a full scale final prototype.
'Clip' is a table that is inspired by vines. Specifically the way they cling to a host structure. This is emulated by two distinct materials joining at the corner with the stainless steel legs representing the vines and the table top representing the host. The legs are able to be clipped on and off allowing it to be flat packed and also giving users the ability to store it away. The minimal materials and design fit the contemporary cafe and home of limited space today. The wood used is Accoya which is ecologically treated pine and allows 'Clip' the ability to be set outside and and also reduces the carbon footprint.
Dismantled
When I revisited the design after stage 1 I made all decisions based on one philosophy - simplify. I decided to strip the form right down to the function and create a simple mechanism that would hold the legs by friction. The friction (clip) is caused by the clip (connected to the table top) being wider than the two points on the leg. Therefore it pries the leg apart enough to make the table stable but not too much that it is hard to unclip.
Process:
Stage 1 preliminary hand in: Concept and 1:5 scale model
At the end of stage one I had provided the base to lead into stage 2. What I was heavily focusing on was the two materials working together. The cones on the corner of the table top were to signify the blending from one material to the other. I had not fully worked out the function of the clipping mechanism at this point but provided a strong concept leading into the next stage.
