Portrait of designers Bayode & Claire in a traditional English interior

Pokit is a tailoring based design and arts practice renowned for reflective originality and authenticity in their work. Bayode & Claire bring innovation and challenge to established viewpoints by presenting what is often commonplace in unfamiliar ways. Increasingly their work uses tailoring to express their ideas which result in structures, forms and sculptures that can be interpreted as both figurative and abstract. In doing so they ask us to question our perceptions and perspectives. Integral to all their work is the expression of quality in materiality and craftmanship.   Pokit was established in 1999 by Bayode Oduwole and Claire Pringle.
