Reinventing Furniture with Batik and Songket

KUALA LUMPUR, 12 March - Batik and Songket, Malaysia’s traditional cultural heritage, have been given a new lease of life as they continue to play a vital role in the daily lives of the society.

This includes the reinvention of their applications such as in contemporary or modern furniture.

A group of lecturers and students of the Faculty of Design and Architecture (FRSB) in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) have designed unique furniture which uses both batik and songket as motifs.
