The Maker
Craft rooted in intention.
ESAR began in a small Lagos studio with a single tufting gun and a borrowed frame. Every piece carries the rhythm of that beginning — slow, deliberate, made by hand.
We make rugs, teach the craft to a new generation of Nigerian makers, and develop the tools and materials we wished we'd had when we started.
