John Martono, Eka Arifianty Puspita

Abstract


Batik culture has succeeded in becoming a driving force of the creative economy and providing employment opportunities in various areas of Indonesia. However, the rapid development of batik does not guarantee the success of the batik businesses to be sustainable. One example occurs in one of the national batik industry centers, namely Cirebon. The famous culture of batik in Cirebon is synonymous with the craft center located in Trusmi Village. However, Cirebon also has other areas that are actively producing batik, such as Ciwaringin Village. Contrast to the popular Trusmi Village, Ciwaringin Village's batik tends to fade. The craftmanship of hand-written batik is assumed as one obstacle in responding to consumer trends and demands. In regards, this research aims to explore the alternative designs in developing Ciwaringin batik by infusing the trendy hypernature concept for home décor product. The idea of the batik development design is initiated to respond the growing trend of home décor consumption and the rise of hype nature concept of innovations, which is the integration of technology and nature to support sustainability. Thus, the design method used is a collaboration of Ciwaringin batik traditional elements with the trend of 2022/2023. The collaboration of traditional and the trend elements is considered sufficient in helping craftsmen to be responsive to the latest developments happened amidst society. Through the design process, it was discovered the potency of new designs and the rise of new market segments. Although the design project should be considered as an early stage of development, but it can be concluded that there are positive indications of implementing the trend elements for developing traditional batik designs.

Keywords: batik Ciwaringin, home décor, hypernature.

 

Abstrak

Budaya batik kini berhasil menjadi satu penggerak ekonomi kreatif hingga membuka peluang ketenagakerjaan di beragam wilayah Indonesia. Namun maraknya perkembangan batik, tidak lantas menjanjikan kesuksesan seluruh pelaku usaha batik untuk mampu berkelanjutan. Sebagai contoh adalah sentra industri batik nasional, yaitu kota Cirebon. Hingga kini budaya pembatikan di Cirebon identik dengan sentra yang berlokasi di Desa Trusmi. Namun kota Cirebon pun memiliki beragam wilayah lainnya yang aktif menghasilkan batik, seperti Desa Ciwaringin. Berbeda dengan Desa Trusmi yang populer, industri batik Desa Ciwaringin cenderung meredup. Ciri khas batik tulis yang mengandalkan keahlian tangan para pengrajin batik digadang menjadi kendala dalam merespon tren dan permintaan konsumen. Menanggapi hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan menggali potensi rancangan alternatif untuk pengembangan batik Ciwaringin, yaitu melalui desain batik dengan inspirasi hypernature untuk home décor. Gagasan desain batik tersebut didasari oleh tumbuhnya tren konsumsi produk home décor yang meningkat dan berkembangnya inovasi dengan konsep hypernature, yaitu terpadunya teknologi dan alam untuk mendukung keberlanjutan. Oleh karena itu, metode perancangan yang digunakan adalah kolaborasi unsur tradisi batik Ciwaringin dengan unsur tren 22/23. Kolaborasi unsur tradisional dan unsur tren dinilai sesuai dengan tujuan penelitian karena mendorong para pengrajin untuk tanggap terhadap perkembangan masyarakat terkini. Melalui proses desain, ditemukan potensi rancangan batik Ciwaringin baru dan terbukanya segmentasi pasar baru. Meskipun proyek desain dalam penelitian ini masih tergolong sebagai tahap awal, namun terindikasi adanya dampak positif dari implementasi unsur tren pada pengembangan desain batik tradisional.

Kata Kunci: batik Ciwaringin, home décor, hypernature.
