Colour, Cushions And Why Dog Beds Are Boring: Eva Sonaike

Eva Sonaike specialises in textiles with a vibrant West African aesthetic. ‘I live and breathe colour,’ 'she says. 'It has a positive effect on your emotional state.' Born and raised in the south of Germany and hailing from Nigeria, Eva studied journalism and worked in fashion before turning her sights on interiors. While doing up her first house, she was unable to find anything that represented the glorious colours of her homeland, and it was at this point that she decided to have a go herself. She now runs a global brand and has collaborated with Soho Home, CP Hart and Kanuhara resort in the Maldives, with much more to follow… including dog beds. Tune in for more.
