FLOOR ONE 9.

COLLABORATE. CREATE. DISCOVER.
OPEN SPACES. LIVING SPACES. CHANGING SPACES.


Art Twenty One - a space dedicated to art and design in Lagos - has been Floor One 9’ed.

Floor One 9 - Caline Chagoury’s latest project - is a creative expression intended to showcase the powerful relationship between contemporary art and design while celebrating the incredible talent, resources, an creative minds stemming from Africa.

Launched in October 2019, the First Edition of Floor One 9 features a mix of artists, designers, and artisans all linked to the African continent. The artists bring with them a unique knowledge of their cultural heritage, their home, and their experiences, which is embedded in their art and designs.

From paintings, to photography, to contemporary design pieces, Floor One 9 is a concentration of all that is beautiful about Africa and a call for its celebration, while challenging the cultural dynamics of social identity.

Welcome to Floor One 9…
Where Contemporary Art meets Contemporary Design.

"I wanted to take things one step further in my quest to keep giving artists a platform, while celebrating the city I call home, Lagos. If Art is for expression and Design is for communication, the combination of these two can only lead to a more powerful statement. That statement is Floor One 9. I like the element of finding the unexpected where mind have already been set on what a place is expected to be. A lot of preconceived ideas are made of Lagos, but Lagos surprises and excites. Africa is multifaceted, plentiful, and burgeoning with ideas and talent - that is what Floor One 9 wants to celebrate - and we hope to Floor One 9 more spaces in the future.”
