Tjanting in Sabine

Named for the tjanting—the copper tool used in batik tulis—this piece translates the flow of wax into measured lines and controlled spacing. Every stroke is intentional: some taper thin, others swell like wax pooling, all arranged with the discipline of a botanical register.

The central field is composed of upright specimens: lilies, ranunculus, snowdrops, and clustered sprigs, each set with spacing that allows clarity when folded. Smaller florals and leaves stabilise the rhythm, preventing collapse into overcrowding.

The border is drawn with a scalloped inner band, enclosing garlands of blossoms and vines. Corners are resolved with denser clusters, locking the rectangle into balance and ensuring the design frames the florals like a textile panel.

The Sabine palette sits on a pale ivory base framed by a deep black outer ground. Florals appear in dusty rose, muted blue, ochre, and olive, with the black border sharpening their contrast. This combination creates a bold yet archival character, making the design feel structured and formal while still botanical.

On Korean chiffon, the motifs stand crisp and high-contrast. On Soof modal, the dark border softens into a matte frame, while colours diffuse gently into the ivory ground for a quieter textile effect.
