‘ORCHID BATIK’

Inspired by the highly-admired Batik, an ancient technique and material that involve natural elements like beeswax, plant dyes, tools and heritage craftsmanship, this rhythmic Singapore Orchid Batik pattern celebrates not only the interplay of nature and human creativity in fabric-making, but also the relaxed, tropical feel batik always evokes. The dotted expression here pays homage to the canting, an etching tool for holding a small reservoir of hot wax, used to create intricate lines and fine dots. Beautiful textile designs emerge from this heritage though passion, dedication and creativity, the same spirit that has cultivated Singapore into a vibrant, graceful and welcoming city with a finely crafted balance between natural and built habitat.
