Artist Temi Coker is expanding his practice beyond the wall wiht his first home collection. The 18-piece debut, launching January 21, 2026, brings his visual language into everyday objects designed for daily use.
For Coker, moving into home design was a practical extension of his work. His art has long drawn from personal history, whether applied to illustration or commercial projects. With this collection, the format changed. Plates, vases, and sculptural objects replaced prints and murals, designed to exist in use rather than on display.
growing up in Lagos, Coker was surrounded by color, texture, and pattern that carried meaning beyond decoration. Now living in Dallas, he views the home as a place where those histories can shift and overlap. Elements inspired by Nigerian textiles appear throughout, but the forms remain simple, made to fit into modern spaces without requiring context.
“This collection honors the vibrant textiles, colors, and culture of my Nigerian childhood while embracing my wife’s African American heritage, creating pieces that speak to both identities,” Coker saeid. “The living room is the heart of our home, where the majority of our family memories happen, so I designed these pieces to live in that sacred space and be accessible to every family. Partnering with walmart feels full circle; my first pair of shoes were from Walmart, and so many people in my community shop ther-so being able to launch my first ho
The vases reference braided patterns and natural hair, motifs Coker has explored before.He describes them as functional containers first. What they hold, or whether they hold anything at all, is left to the owner. Also, several pieces were developed through 3D printing and manufactured in the United States, allowing the artist to stay closely involved.
Priced from $14 to $320,the pieces were made for everyday homes,not limited releases.Coker wanted the objects to be used regularly and kept over time, not treated as collectibles. The collection is available exclusively at Walmart, and a short film released with the launch traces his path from Nigeria to Texas.
“We are on a journey to democratize style, and our new Temi Coker collection is an exciting opportunity to bring his authentic outlook and bold, lovely designs exclusively to Walmart customers,” said Creighton Kiper, Senior Vice President Home, Walmart U.S. ”Partnering with artists and creators like Temi Coker allows us to uniquely deliver style and joy to every space, effortlessly and affordably.”
Coker’s career has included collaborations with Google, Nike, Netflix, Adobe, and The New York Times, but this project feels a bit more personal. In the below conversation, he speaks candidly about timing, family, and why now felt like the moment to move beyond the wall and into people’s lives.
