The overlooked often becomes residue—remnants of experience that are visible, tangible, and quietly present. These leftovers, usually from past projects, carry memories too meaningful to discard, yet they are often forgotten in the rush toward the new. Every product has its own journey, but we tend to ignore the stories behind the materials left behind.
In today’s fast-paced design culture, where meeting deadlines and launching new products dominate the conversation, there’s little room to consider what happens to excess materials. “JEJAK” is a reflection on this very issue—a response to our collective tendency to prioritize the new while neglecting the past. It’s a reminder that sometimes, progress requires us to slow down.
By choosing to walk instead of run, we collaborated with Floorstudio, an artisan rug manufacturer based in Indonesia, to create a collection from their leftover materials. Threads from various past projects, once considered waste, are now reimagined as the heart of something new. As the saying goes, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
“JEJAK” is a celebration of design thinking cycle, material honesty and artisan skill. It balances thoughtful design with a deep respect for process, showing that even the remnants can hold meaning. Through “JEJAK,” we invite others to see residue not as waste, but as potential.
