I’m so excited to share a new chapter in our design journey—our silk-threaded paintings collection are now available in our Home Decor selection! On a recent trip to Nigeria, I stumbled across these stunning pieces at an artist collective and instantly fell in love. The vibrant colours, the intricate craftsmanship—it was all so captivating.
I brought a few back to London, had them framed in beautiful artisan glass, and now they light up my living room at Casa Sonaike. The response has been overwhelming! After the Sunday Times Style feature (watch it here) and sharing them on Instagram Stories, so many of you reached out asking how to get one for yourselves. So, I went back to source more, and now they’re available on the website!
These silk-threaded paintings are more than just décor—they’re a vibrant, tactile journey into African artistry. Each one tells a story, blending tradition with modern design.
A Few Favourites From the Collection
Iboju (Mask) 2
One of the first pieces I fell for, Iboju captures the essence of African heritage with its bold, geometric take on traditional masks. It’s a powerful statement piece for any home. Discover Iboju 2 here.
Elewa (Elegance) 1
Elewa, meaning "elegance," embodies grace in every thread. Its rich burgundy, teal, and gold tones bring African femininity to life. Check out Elewa 1 here.
Ijo (Dance)
This painting radiates the joy of movement and rhythm. Ijo celebrates African dance with vibrant colors and dynamic design. Find Ijo here.
Aworan (Art)
The most abstract of the collection, Aworan plays with geometric forms and color to create a striking profile. It’s modern, bold, and perfect for sparking conversation. Discover Aworan here.
Why I Fell in Love With These Paintings
What makes these pieces so special is their texture. Each one is meticulously hand-threaded using silk, adding depth and richness you can feel. After having them framed, they truly came to life in my home, and I know they’ll do the same in yours.
Bringing Them to You
The amazing feedback after my Sunday Times Style feature and on Instagram made me realise I had to share these works with you all. I went back to Nigeria to source more, and now they’re available on the website for you to enjoy!
