Macramé is the ancient knotting technique-the art of tying hundreds of knots together to complete a unique piece of art has long evolved into today’s decorative craft.

Ika started to support the small home industry in the year 2003, when she had to spend more time away from Bali – Indonesia. She taught the art of knotting, Macrame * – which was not known in Bali or popular in the fashion world. Ten years passed, through trial and error, the small group of people has grown in maturity, creativity and skill that they have reached the standard of Maestro/ Creature – each piece differs from the next as collector’s piece.

* Macramé is the ancient knotting technique-the art of tying hundreds of knots together to complete a unique piece of art has long evolved into today’s decorative craft. Artisans use cotton waxed cord or traditional and environmental friendly materials and techniques of weaving. With unique artwork, the effort is difficult to assess. With their creative input surrounded by the paddy fields, the Maestros put their imaginations to reality.
