About the Studio

Tola Ojuolape

Tola Ojuolape is the Founder and Creative Director of Tola Ojuolape Studio, a London-based multidisciplinary practice creating emotionally rich, human-centred interiors, objects, and experiences.

Her work blends heritage and contemporary aesthetics, drawing inspiration from art, culture, materiality, and craft to create spaces that are tactile, immersive, and enduring.

Raised in County Clare, Ireland, Tola’s mixed cultural background and studies in Ireland, Milan, and London have shaped her design sensibility, balancing refinement, storytelling, and a deep appreciation for architectural heritage.

She has lectured at the Royal College of Art and Camberwell College of Arts, was shortlisted for Dezeen’s Emerging Interior Designer of the Year (2023), and this year (2025) was named one of Homes & Gardens’ ‘Next in Design’ (NiD25).
