Inherited Future

Category: Interior

In this Inherited Future collection; “Banana as Matter, Tradition as Knowledge” explores the banana plant as both a material and a vessel of cultural knowledge. Using the pseudo-stem, the plant’s main agricultural by-product, the project highlights banana fibre as a regenerative material requiring no extra land, water, or fertilizer. Traditionally used in Indonesia to make textiles, ropes, and papers, the fibre is processed without added chemicals or synthetic bonding. These practices reflect ancestral knowledge of the plant’s potential. Through material experimentation, the project reconnects ecological responsibility with cultural memory, proposing low-impact systems rooted in traditional wisdom for the future.
