Abstract

Background Batik Tiga Negeri is unique in the Indonesian batik repertoire due to its outstanding production process with intricate, dense, and beautiful motifs. This batik, which was first developed at the end of the 19th century, has a unique production concept across three workshops in Java, using red, blue, and soga/brown colors. Each production site manufactures three distinctive visual patterns on one piece. Batik has also been developed with varying characteristics in Malaysia and Thailand. Therefore, this study developed a contemporary concept to integrate three typical motifs from these three countries into one piece of batik, to strengthen the batik repertoire of each country and Southeast Asia. Methods This study was divided into five steps, with the first based on literature study, followed by direct observation through visiting batik workshops and textile museums in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. In the third step interviews were conducted with batik industry practitioners in three countries to gain insight into the uniqueness and understand market needs to help the creative process of developing contemporary Batik Tiga Negeri. The fourth step was conducting an experiment based on the analysis results, which were processed using the traditional transformation method, namely ATUMICS, followed by the design and production process using digital print technology and pleating techniques. Fifth, contemporary Batik Tiga Negeri in pleats is applied as a fashion product with modern value. Results The contemporary concept evolved from the traditional transformation of the original concept, resulting in the contemporary visual aesthetics of the three countries. This new artifact showed a modern and appealing evolution of batik that resonates with the younger generation. Therefore, the seven stages of contemporary Batik Tiga Negeri in Pleats development were designed for utilization and enhancement by people in the batik creative industry. Conclusions The harmonious and appropriate application of the ATUMICS method led to the production of new artifacts capable of maintaining cultural and modern values based on local wisdom. The concept is important in this method because it is the most resilient to facing extinction. This study produced three artifacts, contemporary Batik Tiga Negeri with an integration of visual styles from three countries into a single design, a style with pleated or accordion texture, and the fashion application
