Batik Reimagined: Bio-Inspired Narratives in Sustainable Textile Design

Author(s) Ms. Shraddha Pandey, Mr. Rajeev Kumar
Country India
Abstract This research reinterprets the traditional wax-resist technique of batik through a contemporary lens focused on sustainability, material innovation, and design evolution. By integrating natural dyes—such as Kesula, Red Sandalwood, Sapanwood, and Indigo—with diverse fabric substrates including cotton, silk, chiffon, jute, wool, denim, and satin, the study explores the compatibility of eco- conscious practices with age-old craft traditions. Inspired by microscopic structures of plant and animal tissues, the project translates these biological forms into abstract surface motifs, drawing parallels between cellular systems and layered textile processes. A systematic exploration of wax application, dye immersion, and de-waxing techniques enabled comparative analysis of material performance and aesthetic outcomes across different fabrics. Emphasizing minimal chemical use, biodegradable components, and waste reduction, the study positions batik as a sustainable and expressive medium suitable for both

fashion and interior applications. Moreover, it speculates on the future convergence of batik with digital design tools, smart textiles, and circular economies, highlighting its resilience and adaptability. Ultimately, the work advocates for the revival of batik not only as a traditional craft but as a dynamic, culturally rooted design language attuned to modern ecological and technological contexts.
