The Vida
Bekasi
The Vida project can be seen along the gate of a residential complex in Bekasi. The façade can also be visualized as an artwork; therefore, our hand-weaving panels need to implicate a certain amount of flexibility to follow the design intention. The synthetic materials are taken from industrial leftovers to reduce waste and to contribute to a better environment.
