Atelier Onikan sees Nigerian craft as a living knowledge system shaped by material intelligence, cultural meaning, and use case.

This approach allows Nigerian craft to function as a design language, not a fixed aesthetic to be reproduced exactly

OUR DESIGN APPROACH

Craft as a design language.

Atelier Onikan approaches Nigerian craft as a living system of knowledge — shaped by material intelligence, cultural context, and use case — allowing it function as a design language rather than a fixed aesthetic to be reproduced exactly.
