CHALLENGE: In this project I want to deliver the different feeling of traditional handmade rattan object. Nuo pendant shape designed to fit the design environment but using different material which is traditional and handmade object. Perfection of handmade always better than machine production, also the value of the handmade object will become more valuable. It is a culture diversity, a mix between old and new, where I kept the old ways of making then giving a new design feeling outcome.
