These detail views show how much of the project’s identity is carried through the weaving itself. Pattern, spacing, and technique shift subtly across the surface, creating a layered composition that becomes richer the closer it is seen.

At the corner, along the edges, and within each panel, the weaving shows both discipline and variation. It gives the building a strong material presence, while allowing the handwork behind it to remain visible. In that way, the detail is not secondary to the architecture, but central to how the architecture is understood.

Inside Jati Kopi, the interior weaving is developed through a graphical technique that works with pixel logic. Repeated crossings and variations in density act like small visual units, gradually building a larger image across the wall.

Up close, you notice the intricacy of the handwork, the crossings, the spacing, the subtle shifts in density. From farther away, those same decisions gather into a readable graphic. It is a quiet but thoughtful way of using weaving, not only as material finish, but as a visual language shaped directly through craft.

At Galeri Astra, Jakarta, this closer view reveals the weaving in a more intimate way. From afar, it reads as a quiet architectural surface. Up close, it opens into a rich field of rhythm, texture, and careful hand-crafted detail.

Inspired by Indonesian traditional ethnic motifs, the pattern is not simply added as decoration, but formed through the weaving itself, strand by strand. The natural material brings warmth and depth to the surface, letting cultural memory come through in a subtle way. In the gallery, it becomes a gentle expression of Indonesian identity, carried not only through image, but through craft itself.

At Astra Toyota Showroom, the weaving extends overhead, turning the ceiling into a continuous field of pattern, texture, and light. More than a decorative element, it brings Indonesian identity into a contemporary commercial space through a material language rooted in craft.

Repeated across the ceiling plane, the weaving introduces warmth and rhythm to the showroom, softening the clean architectural setting while giving it a stronger sense of place. It is a subtle gesture, but one that allows tradition to remain present in an everyday environment through atmosphere, surface, and detail.

At Galeri Astra, Jakarta, this weaving was conceived as a quiet companion to the artwork, present but never overpowering. Rooted in Indonesian traditional ethnic patterns, it reinterprets familiar cultural motifs through natural-toned material and layered craft. Within the clean gallery interior, the surface introduces warmth, texture, and a more grounded presence. More than a backdrop, it shapes the atmosphere of the space, framing the works of Indonesian artists while remaining a subtle artwork in itself.

Not every triangle is treated the same, and that difference is what gives the facade its rhythm. Some triangles are left hollow as intentional openings, while others are filled with weaving to hold the surface together. The hollow parts let light, air, and glimpses pass through. The filled parts add texture, shade, and visual density. Between openness and coverage, the facade finds its balance, never flat, never fully closed, but always shifting as you move around it.

The triangular language of this weaving facade is built through a careful geometric system. Each panel begins as a slanted parallelogram, then is structured with triangular framing inside. Repeated across the building, these angled modules allow triangles to appear in shifting combinations, sometimes as single cuts, sometimes as larger clustered figures. The result feels lively, but it comes from precision.

From inside, the weaving reads less like a facade and more like a way of shaping the afternoon. Light threads through the square pattern and lands as a soft grid across the room, shifting as the sun moves and as the panels open or fold.

It is a simple kind of control that still feels generous. You can let brightness in without the harshness, keep privacy without shutting the space down, and stay connected to air and view. With the sheer curtains beside it, everything slows a little. Not blocking daylight, just making it easier to live with.

The home of T**i & Tian, designed by Atelier Riri, uses weaving not only as texture, but as a working layer of climate control.

Each panel leaf acts as a sun shading device, not an add-on. By swinging outward from a deep frame, the weaving gains thickness and shadow, cutting direct sun before it reaches the glazing behind.

When the leaves are partially opened, the façade starts behaving like adjustable fins. The angle controls how much daylight enters, while the grid breaks harsh beam into a softer, filtered glow. A simple movement, with a clear payoff: cooler interiors, reduced glare, and a façade that shows its shading logic in plain sight.

A ceiling that feels soft, but works hard. Woven from outdoor-grade synthetic rattan, it is chosen for its durability in sun and humidity, holding its shape while staying easy to clean and maintain in an open-air setting. The diamond pattern appears through a carefully programmed weave order, where two contrasting colors trade places at each crossing so the surface gradually “tilts” into diagonals. With its tight spacing and consistent micro-gaps, the canopy shades like a screen: it breaks harsh daylight into a softer, diffused glow, while still letting air and a measured amount of light pass through.

At Padang Merdeka Restaurant, the pendant becomes a small architectural cue. Its flared, upturned form references the roofline of a Minang traditional house, then it’s built out in layered weaving bands to soften the light and keep the glow warm and controlled.

Look up and the same material logic expands into the ceilings. The green ceiling reads as a ribbed canopy wrapped in tight weaving, with concealed cove lighting in between to outline each bay and make the staggered depth clear. Further along, the brown ceiling turns into a framed grid of weaving panels with slim linear LEDs at the joints, keeping the pattern crisp and guiding the main circulation line.

Weaving becomes a way of composing, not just finishing. Here, the pattern is achieved by controlling the weave sequence and switching rattan colors across a circular surface.

Hand-woven around the curve of column, every strand has to stay evenly tensioned so the grid doesn’t drift as it wraps 360°. That discipline is what makes the natural field feel so refined: a tone-on-tone relief formed by subtle shifts in the over-under count, catching light like an embossed textile ground. Then the green band reads like a tenun border, where motifs appear through counted color runs that return and lock into the structure, keeping the geometry crisp from every angle.

Synthetic rattan, shaped through careful hands, until the surface holds both rhythm and depth.
