Description
**Yinka Ilori x Dunelm** * Calabash-Inspired Design * Unique, Shapely Look * Made from Durable Glass and Steel * Convenient In-Line Switch Introducing Yinka Ilori x Dunelm. Our new and exclusive collaboration with artist and designer Yinka Ilori celebrates playful design with original pieces you can make your own. Inspired by similarities between Yinka's London upbringing and Dunelm's origin on Leicester market, the collection remixes and reimagines nostalgic shapes, colours, and themes. Rooted in heritage and reimagined for modern interiors, the Yinka Ilori Calabash Table Lamp takes its form from the traditional African calabash gourd, known for its smooth, rounded silhouette. This playful design captures Yinka Ilori’s signature celebration of culture and creativity, turning an everyday object into a bold decorative statement. The matt opal glass softly diffuses light to create a warm, inviting glow, whilst the vibrant 1.8m yellow cable and hot pink detailing add an unexpected hit of colour. Finished with an inline switch for easy use, it’s a piece that delivers both personality and practical lighting in equal measure.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lamp for its striking, sculptural shape that adds character and warmth to a range of interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic spaces, where its bold form can be a statement piece. I recommend pairing it with natural textures like wood or rattan to enhance its organic feel, and placing it on a side table or console to spotlight its distinctive silhouette. For practical styling, consider using warm-toned bulbs to highlight its cheerful design or incorporating it into a reading nook for a cosy ambiance. This lamp is a versatile choice that effortlessly blends form and function.

About Dunelm
A Legacy of Home Comfort Dunelm's Journey
Dunelm isn't just another store; it's a British legacy. Kicked off in 1979 by the dynamic duo, Bill and Jeany Adderley, what began as a simple market stall in Leicester transformed into one of the UK's most prominent home furnishings retailers.
Fast forward a bit, and their first brick-and-mortar store sprang to life in Leicester in 1984. Dunelm didn't stop there, making waves throughout the decades, innovating and expanding, launching an online shopping experience, and securing its place on the London Stock Exchange.
More than Just Products...A Personal Touch
With a whopping 177 stores across the UK, Dunelm isn't just about selling items; it's about crafting experiences. Many of their stores come with cosy Pausa cafes, offering a space to relax and refuel.
And if you've ever felt like joining a community, they've got dedicated Facebook groups for each store locality. It's not just about buying a product; it's about being part of the Dunelm family. Their online platform seamlessly complements their in-store experience, promising product availability and varied delivery options.

But Dunelm is more than its rich history and expansive product range. At its core, the company is committed to creating that heartfelt sensation of truly being at home. They've placed a solid emphasis on making responsible, long-term decisions that prioritise our environment and cherish future relationships.
85% of their growth over the past five years is credited to market share gains, underscoring their commitment to sustainability and quality.
