While the book’s content primarily focuses on the journey of three generations of batik makers, the true essence lies in the captivating batik style, and I intend for it to take the spotlights. The book is designed to emphasize a vintage theme and showcase the intricate designs, vibrant colors, and high-quality materials that define Oey Soe Tjoen’s batik style.
Oey Soe Tjoen’s batik style is renowned for its organic elements, including animals and flowers. I’ve infused some of these beautifully crafted details from the batik into the design elements on certain pages. The pattern on the opening is also inspired by the delicate details found in the batik.
The book cover is printed on cloth, presenting Oey Soe Tjoen’s famous batik as a piece of art. To enhance the vintage look, bronze accents have been added. The Oey Soey Tjoen’s signature also appears as the book title on the cover.
