NU MI Design House, the integrated interior design, procurement, bespoke furniture manufacturer and homeware product designer, has announced that its 2019 interior and product design exhibition will take place on September 21 and 22.

Building on 2018’s first edition hosted at the Oando Wings building, the 2019 NU MI Design Exhibition will take place at LASWA Yard, at Falomo Jetty, the new headquarters of maritime Lagos.

Nigerian art has captured the imagination of a global audience and introduced a new generation of world renowned artists to an eager public. But far less known and equally innovative, is the emerging Nigerian design sector and a range of creative collaborations between art and design are taking it to a new level.

To showcase this unique new sector, NU MI Design House is curating the NU MI Design Exhibition, featuring a combination of leading Nigerian artist’s work alongside established and emerging Nigerian furniture and other product designers and a unique selection of NU MI founder Tanwa Newbold’s own work, including a stunning collaboration with artist Polly Alakija.

We are privileged to be able to bring together so many talented designers, and I am hugely encouraged by the innovation and creativity that is coming out of Nigeria at the moment.
