Origin

A piece of
the sun, hung
on every door.

In the mountains between Spain and France, the Basque people have hung sun flowers — ekilore — on their doors for centuries as symbols of protection, warmth, and light.

Legend says the goddess Mari created the flower to bring the comfort of the sun into every home, warding off darkness even through the longest nights.

That spirit drives everything we make — from reference cards that keep critical knowledge at your fingertips, to art and crafts that bring warmth into your everyday space.

About

The name,
the intention.

Ekilora (eh-kee-LOR-ah) takes its name from the Basque word for sunflower — ekilore, from eki meaning "sun" and lore meaning "flower."

The Basque people are one of the oldest cultures in Europe, living in the mountains between Spain and France for thousands of years. Their traditions run deep — and one of the most beautiful is the ekilore hung on every farmhouse door. A piece of the sun's warmth, keeping watch over the home.

We create reference cards, art, crafts, and resources with that same intention — things made with care, meant to bring warmth and light into your everyday life. Whether it's a compliance card on your desk, a print on your wall, or a handmade piece for your home, every item carries that spirit.
