At the same time, the development of technological innovations in the application of every aspect of life is getting more advanced. When everyone is more sensitive to the importance of combining science with technology under the pretext of modernization. One example of technological developments in the world of textiles is E-Textile (Electronic Textile), which is now a problem solving in the realm of functionality and aesthetics for craft products applied both in fashion and interior. This exploration project seeks to renew and make new innovations for the realization of applied craft work in Indonesia by combining textile craft science with exploration techniques that focus on the stylization of archipelago ornaments, laser cut techniques, several surface textile exploration techniques as well as electronic scientific exploration, namely a series of LEDs circuits. to become an E-Textile interior craft work that combines visual urgency as well as functionality as a problem solving problem of the lack of artificial lighting and center of interest in the aesthetic realm for a hotel lobby from the case studies raised.
