Explore the rich tapestry of Indonesia’s living heritage through Tenun: Handwoven Textiles of Indonesia. Published in collaboration with Cita Tenun Indonesia (CTI), an association dedicated to the preservation and development of traditional Indonesian weaves, this definitive volume showcases the breathtaking diversity, cultural significance, and complex techniques of tenun across the archipelago. The book offers an extensive visual journey through various regions, detailing the meticulous processes behind ikat, supplementary weft, and various traditional handloom methods.
