RD006—Pagar Ayu Fabric

Made by pedal loom weavers in Pekalongan, Central Java
From £2.50
Product Story

Pagar Ayu’s gracious simplicity resides in its all-white facet. The checkerboard motifs are incorporated by hand to highlight the weaver’s subtle artistry. Its lined textures emerge illusively, adding a layer of tactile quality.

Inspired by the Indonesian version of bridesmaids, pagar ayu takes the sublime symbolic colour of a wedding ceremony. Its subdued presence and delicate textures offer a graceful touch to a space full of feminine air. The base fabric is handwoven by pedal loom weavers in Pak Kadir’s house, Pekalongan.

MADE IN PAK KADIR'S HOUSE, PEKALONGAN

Deep in the narrow streets of Pekalongan, Central Java, lies Pak Kadir’s house whose weaving workshop has withstood three generations. Already from afar, we can hear a lot of activities, the house is always alive and bustling.

A haven of traditional weaving, Pak Kadir’s exploratory techniques and rigorous archives have influenced and eventually incubated a community of weavers around him. His exemplary archival work reflects meticulous preservation in techniques, designs, and materials that never cease to inspire us as collaborators to revive the old archive.
