Transformation of Traditional Art through Contemporary Design: A Case Study on Indonesian Woven Fabrics

Abstract

Traditional weaving art is an important part of Indonesia's cultural heritage, but is often less well-known to the younger generation. This study examines innovative ways to combine traditional weaving elements in contemporary designs for fashion and interior products. With a qualitative research approach through interviews with fashion designers and weaving artisans, this study highlights the efforts to transform traditional art into a modern context that is acceptable to urban society. The conclusion shows that contemporary weaving-based design can enrich cultural appreciation and economic value of these works.
