| Summary: | Seni Tekat is a Malay intangible cultural heritage, not only popular in Kuala Kangsar Perak but other Malay communities in Indonesia and Thailand. This study focuses on the integration of Seni Tekat motifs into the design of Kerongsang Tok, a traditional Malay brooch, aiming to both innovate and preserve this cultural heritage. The primary objectives of this research are to create an innovative source of inspiration for Kerongsang Tok design and to preserve Malay cultural heritage through new design inspirations. The ideation process, directly linked to the fundamentals of Kerongsang Tok design, forms the core of this research. Starting with the initial design, the process incorporates traditional Malay patterns to develop a modern interpretation that remains true to its cultural origins. A comprehensive survey was conducted, gathering input from academics, students, goldsmiths, and jewellery designers to identify the most favoured design. Based on the survey outcomes, a novel Kerongsang Tok design was created, reflecting both innovation and cultural preservation. This study not only aims to preserve Malaysia's cultural legacy but also serves as an educational resource for future generations. By promoting awareness and appreciation of our unique cultural heritage, this research contributes to sustaining the relevance of traditional Malay art forms in contemporary design. Preserving Seni Tekat motifs in Kerongsang Tok design serves as a testament to Malaysia's rich cultural heritage, ensuring that this exquisite art form continues to be celebrated and cherished by future generations. |
