Amidst these sacred lands lie ancient secrets of a millennia-old art: hand weaving. Balinese looms, known as “lontar” or “gebug ende,” are wooden masterpieces crafted with wisdom. Skilled hands, guardians of time-honored traditions, move gracefully and masterfully around these ancient looms—silent witnesses to a deeply rooted past and culture.
The process begins with patiently preparing the loom, meticulously tensioned and aligned, as if each thread were a note in the symphony of textile artistry. Hand weaving is a ritual, a dance of precision and dedication. Each piece is a unique work, an essence woven with tradition, elegance, and artisanal mastery.
Ancient looms stand as witnesses and custodians of a timeless cultural heritage. Hand weaving isn’t just a craft; it’s a link to the very roots of the island—a tribute to the art and identity of a people who have preserved in the fabric of their textiles the history and wisdom of generations.
The collection Rumah is working on is the fruit of collaboration with these special weavers from Bali. Immerse yourself in the poetry of threads and textures, and we can’t wait to wear this tangible expression of art that encapsulates the soul of Balinese craftsmanship.
