In Projek AGNI, crafting Batik-inspired graphics, elements, or identity is not far-fetched, because it’s cultural and not romanticising the past. It just came naturally for us, it felt right, and it only shows our identity and can summarise what we want to express.

What makes batik or ragam hias truly special?
Because it is crafted with intentions, slow process and dedicated mastery.
We try to mimics this methods into our process in branding.
Craftmanship
Batik can be a reflection of the makers, and also can be a reflection of the wearer.
Versatility

Functional
