Meet Eva Sonaike

The Visionary Behind Vibrant African Interiors

Eva Sonaike, the creative force and founder of Eva Sonaike, brings a unique blend of colour and West African textiles into contemporary interiors.

Born to Nigerian parents in the South of Germany, my upbringing was steeped in art and culture, thanks to my father's work as an art historian and my mother's passion for interior design.

My London-based interior company is renowned for its luxury home textiles and furnishings infused with a vibrant West African aesthetic.
The brand epitomises "Bringing Colour to Life" through meticulously curated collections, blending African traditions with European elegance.With products available in prestigious stores worldwide and collaborations with top design firms, Eva Sonaike continues to redefine luxury interiors, seamlessly integrating rich African colours and aesthetics into contemporary living.

With a background in fashion and TV journalism, my journey from media to design began when I realised I couldn't find interior textiles that truly represented my heritage and aesthetic. This sparked a dedication to showcasing the richness of African culture through premium home textiles and furnishings. From my early days of crafting miniature cushions for my dolls' house to working as a fashion journalist for glossy titles like Instyle and Elle Germany, my love for design has always been evident.
My expertise is transforming traditional African aesthetics into contemporary, vibrant designs that elevate any space. This approach is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating a lifestyle that celebrates colour, cultural exchange, and honouring African design in the global interior and design industries. As a thought leader and trailblazer in African interior design, the brand has been featured in numerous UK and international publications, where I have shared my insights to inspire others to embrace the beauty of colourful African-inspired living.
