Smells Like Coffee

Feeewwwhh..

Here in Indonesia, we have this gorgeous culture named "batik". You can search it if you want to know more, but all I have to say is that batik is a beautiful art work. Paint the wax on a fabric, color it, remove the wax, and voila! what you will find next is a cool motif on a fabric.




This thing to paint the wax on the fabric is called "canting". Usually, people in Java and other city that produce batik in Indonesia use this canting for paint with the hot liquid wax that is cooked over a pan.



Here I am try to make it simple by making a portable canting that can be used anywhere or everywhere. It's my 2nd project on my major study. Started from a nature phenomena, comparing some products that use the phenomena for their concepts, and ended up with a new product. Meet my Cantik, electronic canting for make batik.





It might haven't work perfectly, but this is it, one of my design for another assignment.. ^^

I spent some days last week to made this statement necklaces.. Hey, have I told you that me and my friend have an online shop called Mix Match Head..?? You can find it here. See if you like our designs.. ^^

Well, here are mine..

Talked about design.. and my Uni..

Have I told you that I went to Product Design Department Itenas - Bandung? Well yeah, and it's my 5th year. Hahaaa.. time flies.. It's hard sometimes, but I kinda enjoy it. Hope this is my last year there so I could move forward..!! hehee.. :P

Now here are some of my designs from my 2nd year.



cartilage is a table lighting, made of the skin of jackfruit seeds. We call the jackfruit "nangka" in Indonesia. Sometimes people here using the seeds of nangka to plant a new tree, or boil the seeds to be eaten, and sometimes they would just throw it away. But here, we started from a trash that absolutely useless, and made various products that more valuable. And this one is mine. :D

The yin yang table set is simply came from the image of those great yin and yang philosophy. Combined the unglazed stoneware with the blue glazed one.

Well that's it for now.. I'll post the rest later. Have a nice Monday..!!

Keep designing coz it's fuuunnn..!!^o^
