Hi, we’re Eva! And we’re here to fill your home with thoughtful furniture and homewares. But why join us? Well, we think we’re pretty special (if we do say so ourselves). In an industry filled with never ending “stocktake sales” and the churn and burn of fast furniture, we’re taking a more sustainable approach. 

As a multi-award-winning B-Corp, we take our time to design and develop our one-of-a-kind products from scratch, to ensure they are accessible, reliable and thoughtful. We call this being “Thoughtful everyday” and we’d love for you to join us and continue putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.

Our grand vision is to create a unique furniture shopping experience. Say goodbye to stale awkward showrooms with creepy mattress salesmen. And say hi to cosy, luxurious yet refreshingly approachable spaces that feel like home. Sounds exciting? Read on, and see how you’ll be involved.
