An exclusive collection of 8 limited-edition pieces, designed in collaboration with Shoreditch House member and designer, Eva Sonaike.

Channel Eva's distinctive West African aesthetic and unflinching use of colour and pattern with exclusive Soho Home pieces, reworked in Sonaike's Ijoba and Okan fabrics. The collection includes hand knotted rugs, panama cushions, travertine lamps and House classics in joyous prints which recall the tropical greens and rich tones of the Aburi botanical gardens in Ghana.

A cylindrical beige lamp with a patterned shade sits on a round wooden table alongside a decorative metal object and a textured glass. Nearby, there are brown cushions on a sofa.
A terracotta sofa with black-patterned and blue pillows sits on a wooden floor. In front, a patterned rug with brown, white, and black geometric shapes lies. A side table with a lamp and glass is nearby.

Design and heritage

Sonaike elevates each hand-drawn print with vibrant colours and lively geometrics, taking elements from African clothing and European antique furniture traditions. A nod to her German upbringing and Nigerian heritage, every fabric is printed and manufactured in the UK, and imparts Sonaike's concept of 'Bringing Colour to Life'.
