GL005—Cacah Gori Checkerboard Fabric — Black & White

Made by backstrap loom weavers in Tuban, East Java
From Rp 9.000
Product Story

Cacah Gori conceives a criss-cross pattern as an adaptation of the traditional Javanese isen-isen motif. A textured checkerboard motif is created with the weft floats weaving technique using two complimentary-coloured threads.

The first of the triple-toned series is the brown and white pattern woven out of endemic Tuban brown cotton. Native to the Tuban region, kapas lowo or brown cotton takes a year to harvest, sometimes longer. The slow life cycle of brown cotton made us come up with alternative black-dyed cotton and created the triple-toned design.

Cacah Gori’s elegant yet earthy complexion strikes as an eclectic accent to your classic living quarter. Pair this statement checkerboard piece with a muted or even pop colour mood for a dynamic sophisticated interior look. The base fabric is handwoven by backstrap loom weavers in Pak Fajar’s house, Tuban.

MADE IN PAK FAJAR'S HOUSE, TUBAN

Pak Fajar first pursued his exploration with the Tuban weavers years ago during his study as a textile researcher. In Kerek Village, he found a closed-circle community of farmers, spinners, and weavers who work hand in hand forming a robust production cycle. With persistent dedication, he introduces a new perspective on valuing their respectable work.

The backstrap loom is still well-preserved by the people in Tuban; it is one of the oldest, most traditional forms of weaving in the archipelago. The region is constructed on stories and lores about why such crafts still exist to this day. The beauty of weaving has stood the test of time and this is in line with what Pak Fajar is ceaselessly working towards.
