— ADÏAH 002 | Objects of Experience Series

The candle experiments with the malleability of terracotta and the permeance and durability of metal. Cast to contrast with the terracotta’s natural imperfections, its solid form and smooth finish add a sense of refinement

Each piece serves as a study in balance and proportion, blending fluid curves with structural integrity.

The exploration of clav as a material seeks connection with the human experience both in form and process.

Through this, we uncover parallels that resonate between the physicality of clay and the dynamics of human life.

Clay becomes a lanquage through which we recognize and express the beauty of human existence. by @uyai.vessels

The making of the ADÏAH incense burner begins with the form hand-moulded in clay and then cast in Bronze, a material chosen for its durability and timeless appeal.

The contrast between the initial softness of clay and the final solidity of bronze embodies the transformation and permanence of human rituals. by @uyai.vessels

The shape of the ADÏAH incense burner mimics the undulating and organic movement of smoke. Its curves and twists are designed to guide the sight and touch in a continuous flow, much like smoke itself.

The bronze surface retains the subtle textures of the hand-moulded clay, preserving the artisanal quality and the connection to the maker's touch. by @uyai.vessels

CONVERSATIONS x UYAI x CLASE AZUL x KRONE

The evening was a tribute to the creative journeys shaping our beautiful continent.

A celebration of each individual.

A toast to yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

We laughed, we ate, and we forged a safe space for true connection in a setting that honored beauty in every essence.

CONVERSATIONS, presented by Studio FOLA, was more than a gathering — it was a tribute to the creative journeys shaping our continent. From fashion and art to design, film, and music, it was a space where voices converged, ideas sparked, and growth flourished.

The evening featured UYAI Vessels, a showcase of John Asuquo’s visionary work, exploring the intricate balance of form, texture, and the human experience. Every detail was crafted for the moment: hand-carved wooden furnishings from Southern Nigeria, UYAI’s own candleholders, and custom-scented candles with notes of cinnamon, bergamot, patchouli, and amber, all harmonizing with A Symphony of Bold Nigerian Flavors by @thechef.tucker .

With the Nigerian debut of @claseazulofficial and @krone.world , CONVERSATIONS honored our culture’s bold innovations and the creative intersections that continue to shape Africa’s story.
