Eva Sonaike is thrilled to announce an exclusive furniture collaboration with South African-born furniture wholesaler Robert Langford. Unveiled during Focus 2024 at London’s Chelsea Harbour, the collection showcases a unique blend of Eva Sonaike’s vibrant West African textiles with Robert Langford’s modern, sophisticated furniture. Together they bring a fresh, global perspective that celebrates the richness of African culture and merges it with clean, timeless British craftsmanship.
The collection includes statement furnishings for the living room, bedroom, and dining areas—each designed to bring bold character and a cohesive flow into homes while blending distinctive design with understated elegance. Bespoke colourways from Eva Sonaike’s Kano Collection were created specifically for this collaboration, including Ayo in a serene blue, Ife in a subtle beige, and Imole in a soft green. These carefully chosen hues add depth and sophistication, blending Robert Langford’s timeless craftsmanship with Sonaike’s vibrant, expressive designs.
In the living room, a striking 1980’s sofa upholstered in Imole green fabric is complemented by a chic ottoman table and club chairs with wooden inlays. These pieces elevate living spaces with cultural vibrance and contemporary style.
In the bedroom, a luxurious bed features a three-panel headboard in Ife beige fabric, paired with a matching bed base in plain beige batik. Practical ottomans and swivel chairs add both functionality and beauty, enhancing the bedroom for both relaxation and style.
For the dining and kitchen areas, the light blue, custom-made batik banqueting bench serves as a stunning centrepiece, bringing comfort and African elegance to dining spaces. Complemented by Robert Langford’s classic Polo dining chairs upholstered in Ayo blue fabric. The set radiates warmth and beauty, transforming meals into moments of connection, laughter, and shared stories.
