Yaaya At: Africa @ Spitalfields | Home Interiors & Toys

Africa
@ Spitalfields

Africa @ Spitafields had a variety of home interior designers showcasing their work. Additionally, we loved the hand-made toys and dolls and how they captured the innocence and happiness of childhood in a way that identified with and celebrated African culture and heritage. Find out more below!

Home Interiors

Bespoke Binny makes home accessories such as cushions out of African textiles. We found her work (as well as her personality) to be bright, funky and cultural, adding exuberance to anyone’s living room.

Happy Piece describes itself as being a company that uses business and design to empower women to rise above poverty, by producing and selling Rwandan woven baskets and bowls. We were captivated by the beautiful bowls made by the women they work with, and even more by the social entrepreneurial cause that underpins their operation.

Traditional hand-made Rwandan baskets have proven to be a hit in America. Last year saw popular U.S. department stores like Macy's and Anthropologie stocking them on their shelves.

Children's Toys

Dolls by Verona C makes hand-made dolls adorned in African-inspired textiles. They are cute, colourful, and cuddly, and would make a lovely present for any child.
