Yinka Ilori and Veuve Clicquot Bring Chasing the Sun to Milan Design Week 2026

At Milan Design Week 2026, Yinka Ilori partners with Veuve Clicquot for Chasing the Sun, an immersive installation inspired by warmth, light, and togetherness. Known as the Architect of Joy, Ilori transforms the space with vibrant colors, symbolic hands cradling the sun, and patterns drawn from human connection and nature, echoing the Maison’s long standing solar identity and its iconic Clicquot Yellow.

The installation extends into the Clicquot Café, where Andrea Mattasoglio translates Ilori’s graphic language into a playful, sun inspired menu paired with the house’s cuvées. The experience bridges visual design and culinary expression, creating a cohesive and immersive environment.
