The Richness of History and Textural Beauty in Contemporary Craft
In a seamless dialogue between heritage and contemporary craft, Philip Lakeman Ceramic introduces the Batik Collection—a striking new line that pays homage to Indonesia’s storied textile traditions while embracing the expressive possibilities of ceramic design.

Drawing direct inspiration from centuries-old batik craftsmanship of Java, the collection reinterprets iconic patterns—once reserved for cloth—into richly glazed, handcrafted ceramic tiles. Carefully merging time-honored aesthetics with modern production techniques, the Batik Collection breathes new life into a cultural legacy.

At the heart of this release are a series of designs that embody the spirit of the batik tradition. Each piece is brought to life through a meticulous process that fuses hand-molded forms with advanced ceramic technology, creating surfaces imbued with depth, nuance, and artisanal imperfection.

Intended for both urban interiors and refined architectural spaces, these tiles offer a tactile, visual story—at once rooted in Indonesian identity and responsive to global design sensibilities.

Whether used as accent walls, water feature cladding, or expressive surfaces in residential and hospitality settings, the Batik Collection lends a timeless, textural beauty of Indonesian Batik.
