| Summary: | Indonesia is home to many types of traditional weaving, one of them is the Dayak
Iban Tribe’s weaving styles. The tribe is located at Kelayam Nguji Village, Kapuas
Hulu area, West Kalimantan. The Iban’s weaving types are divided by their
techniques and difficulty levels: Sidan weave, Ikat weave, Sungkit weave, and Pileh
weave. The tradition of weaving is passed down verbally without any written
documentation. As of now, the practice of weaving in Dayak Iban Tribe is being
abandoned as the number of their active weavers decreased. Moreover, with little
innovation, it is hard to promote the existence of Dayak Iban’s weaving. Field
observation and interview with Dayak Iban’s weaving researcher was done to
understand the values held by the tribe, such as the variety of flora and fauna unique
to the area or daily items that they use. The result of the field observation and
literature study is used as an inspiration for the visual design of Dayak Iban’s new
weaving motives using the stilasi technique. The visual exploration adapted Dayak
Iban tribe’s visual approach to observe the visual inspiration. Not only that the
Iban’s weave is potentially developed by the new motives, but later it is also being
made into a woman’s formal attire.
