Woven brass surface with stitched edge
mana, 2026
Patungan is a handwoven brass surface designed to hold and ground other objects. Drawing from the logic of domestic grounds—banig, mats, and shared floors—it reconsiders the idea of a surface as something enduring rather than temporary.
Each brass strip is cut and woven by hand, creating subtle variations in rhythm and tension across the field. The perimeter is secured with a visible stitched binding in waxed linen, holding the weave together without enclosing it. The stitch is structural rather than decorative, acknowledging the surface’s vulnerability and the care required to maintain it over time.
Patungan is intended to live at the center of use: on a table, desk, or shared ground. It accepts weight, marks, and patina, developing character through repetition and contact. Rather than remaining pristine, it is designed to age with its environment.
This object belongs to salo-salo, where surfaces create the conditions for coming together, and to dala-dala, where care and labor remain visible. Patungan is conceived as a future heirloom—an object to be kept, tended, and passed forward.
Brass strip, handwoven
Waxed linen stitched edge
Each piece woven and finished individually
Subtle variation in weave and stitch is inherent to the process.
