Chinakwe is a brand that seamlessly blends African culture and contemporary Western design to bring a touch of cultural richness to any home. 

From limited edition wall art to interior prints for wallpapers, chairs and soft furnishings, all produced in the UK, we create prints that are not only beautiful, but also tell a story of culture and diversity seen in the fusion between Africa and the West

We believe that our culturally diverse world should be celebrated in our daily lives and in our homes. Our prints are not only visually striking but also tell a story of the fusion between Africa and the West. 

We invite you to explore our collection and to let our prints inspire you to learn more about Africa, to embrace cultural diversity and to make your home a reflection of this rich cultural heritage. 

Thank you for choosing Chinakwe and supporting our mission to share Africa, culture and diversity with the world.

Born in Lagos Nigeria and raised in the UK, Caroline Chinakwe is a North West London-based, self taught mixed media  artist and mother of 3. 

With over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry as a stylist and designer, she transitioned to art in 2019 to showcase a truer reflection of her black beauty and increase visibility and appreciation of Black culture. In 2021, following the pandemic and a call for racial equality, she founded her brand Chinakwe, as a calling for more diversity and cultural representation in public spaces. 

Her art, like the artist herself, is a blend of African and Western influences, with her unique use of all mediums including photography, acrylic paint and digital techniques to create an end result that showcases an explosion of colour, textures and finishes.

“I create pieces that will engage and delight you while helping you to appreciate culture and diversity in all its beauty and glory”
