Profile

Olorunfemi Adewuyi is a designer and researcher based in Nigeria. Olorunfemi holds a Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Architecture from Covenant University, Nigeria. Operating at the intersection of art, design, and community, his work modulates between architecture, urbanism, object design, and research. His approach is deeply rooted in an engagement with memory—of cities, villages, traditional/latent ways of being/making, and crafting heritage. He is passionate about the social and democratic potential of design, achieved through collective collaboration. 

In 2023, Olorunfemi founded Omi Collective to unify his diverse practice under one umbrella. Since its inception, the collective has exhibited at Paris Design Week and was selected to showcase at the Greenhouse during Stockholm’s SFF 2025. Omi’s projects have been featured in "Disegno" and "Wallpaper*". In 2025, Olorunfemi was recognized by "Wallpaper*" as an ascending star in design.
