PLAKA views




Living space that evokes sensations, primordial house

Lighting treated as forms of nature, mixed with architectural and vegetation elements

Environment adaptive to change, creative a sense of collective purpose

Geometric Pattern

Heirloom Textile collected in Central Sulawesi, Palu area Indonesia, 16th century 
Technique: Warp ikat, single-ply handspun cotton warp and weft (blue) 
The textile is composed of one section with complete weft selvages. The second section has bands of fine linear ikat divided by blue stripes. The ikat design is in a reddish tan color set on a purple-colored ground that is made from an overdyeing of red and blue. The motifs are punctuated by small spots of these two colors; a light red and a light blue. 
The textile has a scrolling border at either end. Two matching wide ikat bands have motifs reminiscent of ikat motifs still known among the Toraja and also in Timor. These include a head with extended earlobes, a type of "sekong", i.e., a type of figure with four limbs and a solar plexus, integrated into a spiral composition. The center bands of motifs include interlocking spirals, a continuous triangular or cone shape and a running geometric border. The curvilinear motifs are beautifully articulate the complex imagery. The use of red and blue highlights emphasizes the movement of the design.   


Floral Pattern

Prada Resort Collection 2010 features floral prints inspired by art nouveau wallpaper. A favourite design motif in the Art Nouveau period was the Iris, for its strong, but sensuous lines.

Hisoric Art Nouveau Wallpapers, very much alike the contemporary Prada, whose vibrant colors remind us of African textiles

Marcel Wanders Crochet Chair for Moooi
Floral and crochet  (a process of creating fabric from yarn using a crochet hook. The word is derived from the French word "crochet", meaning hook. Crocheting, similar toknitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a single crochet hook is used instead of two knitting needles.)

VERNER PANTON’S “OPTIK”
Legendary Verner Panton is one of Denmark’s most celebrated furniture and textile designers from the 1950′s and 1960′s. He preferred metal and plastics over wood, which embodied his belief that designers should employ the most advanced technology available. Decades after its introduction in 1968, his all plastic cantilevered chair, The Panton Chair along with other epoch making pieces, continue to influence modern furniture design
