THIS IS US™

We found THIS IS US™ with one simple desire, to show that Nigerian design can be of a really high quality that everyone here and abroad can be proud of. We design based on the context around us, seeking always to use local materials, talents and processes to create cool and functional design objects. Our journey started with Funtua cotton, with us being really curious about Nigerian fabric that was indigenous and synonymous with our country but also that could be sustainably and professionally made here. The result is the most beautiful indigo dyed fabric that’s woven in Funtua, Katsina, and hand dyed in Kano at the centuries old Kofar Mata Dye pits.
