Àgbọlé Oye
Furniture & Homeware. Coming Soon.
Named from agbo ilé —
the Yoruba term for
family compound,
the traditional architectural
layout where extended family
lives collectively around
a shared central courtyard.
Àgbọlé Oye is the original furniture and homeware line of House of Oye founder Omolola Oyetubo — a new and growing body of work that sits at the intersection of contemporary design and the living design traditions of the African continent and its diaspora.
These are new works. Each piece is conceived and designed by Omolola Oyetubo, drawing from the vast and varied design languages of Africa — from the structural logic of traditional architecture to the material intelligence of generational craft practices — not as reference points to be borrowed from, but as a living legacy to be carried forward. Some pieces are in direct conversation with specific traditional design practices from across the continent. Others move more freely through the broader design consciousness of the African diaspora. All of them pay homage to the people, the hands, and the cultural knowledge that came before.
This is not revival. It is continuation.
Àgbọlé Oye proceeds from a conviction that African design has always been — and remains — one of the most sophisticated, innovative, and spiritually grounded design traditions in the world. These works exist to make that visible. To bring that intelligence into the contemporary home in forms that can be lived with, passed down, and remembered.
New works are released in limited editions. Each piece is singular.
These are not objects that decorate a home. They are objects that complete one.
Àgbọlé Oye is currently in development. To be notified when new works are released, get in touch through the contact page.
