THE ART OF NIGERIAN BATIK
At OyaAbeo, we believe in buying less and enjoying longer. All our products are made with 100% sustainable materials like linen, cotton and silk. To ensure sustainability in our process, we work with artisans in our own batik workshop in Abeokuta Nigeria.
DIGITAL TO PRINT
Our prints are developed in our studio in Lagos, Nigeria. Underneath the concrete facade of this West African city is a tropical heartbeat. We have witnessed the city trade its flora and fauna which we remember vividly from our childhood, for an even more sprawling concrete metropolis. We felt the need to archive the flora and fauna of the city as watch it disappear.
Our prints are transformed from digital illustrations developed in our studio to hand-drawn prints by our talented batik artist in Abeokuta, a city in South Western Nigeria with a long legacy of hand printing.
THE ART OF NIGERIAN BATIK
The art of batik has been practiced in Southwestern Nigeria for at least a thousand years. We are honored to continue to preserve this important tradition while integrating contemporary design disciplines.
