EXPLORING THE ARTISTIC AND SUSTAINABLE POTENTIAL OF FABRIC SLASHING IN INTERIOR DECORATION

2025-01-26T18:02:02+07:00

Purpose: Fabric slashing, a craft-based textile manipulation technique, has emerged as a versatile and sustainable approach in interior decoration. This method involves layering textiles, stitching patterns, and selectively cutting through layers to reveal dynamic textures and colors underneath. The resulting designs range from subtle to intricate, offering creative flexibility that enriches spatial aesthetics. This research investigates the application of fabric slashing as a decorative technique in interior design, emphasizing its artistic and sustainable value. The study explores how varying fabric types—natural and synthetic—impact textural outcomes and how the technique can be applied to a range of interior elements, including cushions, rugs, wall panels, and furniture upholstery.

Research methods: This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach.

Findings: Findings highlight that fabric slashing not only provides aesthetic benefits, such as creating depth, visual interest, and tactile appeal but also aligns with eco-conscious practices by repurposing textile waste into functional art. Furthermore, this craft-based approach fosters a sense of uniqueness and emotional connection in interior spaces, as handmade products carry distinct character and authenticity that mass-produced items lack. By supporting local artisans and embracing sustainable practices, fabric slashing contributes to a broader movement toward responsible design while preserving traditional craftsmanship. The study concludes that fabric slashing offers significant potential for innovation in interior decoration. It serves as both a practical and artistic solution for designers and craftsmen seeking to integrate texture, dimension, and sustainability into modern interiors.

Implications: Future research could explore advanced applications and collaborations with local communities to further enhance its impact on sustainable design and cultural heritage.

OPTIMIZATION OF SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY IN INTERIOR DESIGN : A NEUROARCHITECTURE PERSPECTIVE

2025-01-26T20:02:13+07:00

Purpose: To identify smart home technology that supports the principles of neuroarchitecture and optimize the use of smart home in interiors.

Research methods: This study uses a qualitative research method with a literature study approach. The literature used is literature related to neuroarchitecture, neuroarchitecture in interiors, and smart home technology used in residential areas. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Findings: Smart Home technology such as smart lighting, voice control, security, and biophilia can be integrated with neuroarchitecture. The integration of smart home technology in residential areas with neuroarchitecture produces types of technology that can improve the welfare of the community in terms of psychology and neurology.

Implications: Through this study, it is hoped that the public can get references related to the selection of smart home technology so that it can be maximally useful, not only functionally but can also improve the comfort and welfare of the community in the house.

I YUYU MELAKSANA MELAH: A CAPTIVATING 2D ANIMATION ADVENTURE

2025-02-17T14:11:19+07:00

Purpose: This research is based on the background that there are obstacles in telling the story of I Yuyu Melaksana Melah to students. Because there is no audio-visual element to support teachers in the process of conveying the story of I Yuyu Melaksana Melah to students. In the Balinese story material I Yuyu Melaksana Melah, many students still do not understand the content of this Balinese story and the moral message contained in it. In this study, a 2-dimensional animated film of the story I Yuyu Melaksana Melah was made to help students understand the Balinese story material entitled I Yuyu Melaksana Melah.

Research methods: This research uses primary data collection techniques (interviews, observations, questionnaires) and secondary data (literature), for the process of the stages of realization in this planning, it goes through three stages, namely, Pre-production, Production, and Post-production.

Findings: Based on the results of the 2-dimensional animated film, the author conducted several tests, including tests on 6th grade elementary school students, content experts and media experts. From the results of the questionnaire given to 20 6th grade students, 93.4% received a rating of “Very Good”. Testing of content experts related to the accuracy of the material and story content received a percentage of 96.6%, categorized as “Very Good”. Testing of media experts in terms of animation visuals and audio received a percentage of 95.5%, categorized as “Very Good”.

Implications: The 2D animated film I Yuyu Melaksana Melah received a positive response and was worthy of distribution to sixth graders at Jehem Public Elementary School 4th.

EXPLORING SUSTAINABLE FASHION: CRAFTING DRAWSTRING BAGS WITH ECO-PRINTED FABRICS

2025-02-24T13:43:21+07:00

Purpose: This study explores the integration of sustainable fashion practices by crafting drawstring bags using eco-printed fabrics. The purpose is to investigate the potential of eco-printing, a technique that employs plant-based dyes, to create unique and environmentally friendly designs in everyday fashion items.

Research methods: A qualitative, experimental approach was used in this study. Eco-printing techniques were applied to natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and hemp using plant materials (leaves, flowers, and bark). These fabrics were then sewn into drawstring bags, which served as a practical product to demonstrate the use of eco-printed materials in fashion.

Findings: The eco-printing process produced vibrant, organic patterns, with variations in color and design based on the plant materials used. The bags exhibited distinct, natural motifs, showcasing the uniqueness of each print. The results indicate that eco-printed fabrics offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials in fashion, with potential for broader applications in everyday items.

Implications: The study highlights the feasibility of using eco-printed fabrics in the fashion industry to reduce environmental impacts. It suggests that eco-printing can contribute to sustainable fashion by providing an alternative to conventional, resource-intensive production methods. Furthermore, the craft of making eco-printed accessories, like drawstring bags, can be an accessible avenue for consumers to engage in sustainable practices.
