Ada-sol

Having studied Architectural design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, Ada Umeofia’s designs are strongly influenced by her science-based educational background and her natural affinity to create beyond the norm.

Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Umeofia’s approach to design takes a life of its own as metal is divided, cut and welded into triangular-shaped lifestyle products. By channelling the chemical arrangements of biological and physical particles, she creates hybrid structures of planters and chairs which celebrate the endless possibilities of metal craftsmanship in her community.

Umeofia’s spiritual connection to the “Sun” is also a large part of her creative process. Her association with the sun has not only aided her personal growth but has also inspired her professional endeavours, allowing her to visualise and conceive unorthodox designs.
