Welcome to YKWIP
Yvonne Koné’s design practice is guided by a sensory experience of the world—in all its imperfection, change, and contradiction. Informed by wild, natural beauty that does not fit a frame, YK is inspired by simple things that insist on their existence in subtle forms—the feeling of sun faded walls, the collective memory within earth tones, and the juxtaposition of a synthetic plastic chair with clay and wood. Yvonne Koné’s approach is rooted in raw material, color, sensation, and emotion. In her evolution as a designer, YK’s process is guided by a return to intuition, giving her the ability to tell stories without words.
