Meet Margaret Yap

Margaret Yap is a ceramic maker who is also a freelance graphic designer majored in Interior design as she studied in Lasalle Singapore and despite a different academic background, her passion for fine arts showed a sturdy growth. Learning about real space and its structure has made her explores her own mind space and design senses.

Interior Design then introduced her to pottery; a world consists of design, fine arts, and science combined. It is a new plot to her story, where fire and water play together with earth and masculinity and femininity interact in a poetic manner. Creating a room for her explosive imaginations, stirring people’s perception to wander, and designing a majestic climax are the pleasures she will always seek.

Apart from her life as a ceramic maker, she also enjoy writing as she has published 2 of her books and one of it is a book for children and most of the illustrations are inspired from the time when she travelled to Indonesian Islands. Margaret also did archery in the past as well as hiking. She finds beauty within the chaos, That’s what she oddly love most about Jakarta. “Possibilities” would be her profound statement that she would like to share to the world as she perceive her clients as her possibilities and she is the possibility for her clients, that she could relate to the meaning of Canaan and Niniveh as the land of possibilities.

The psychedelic pattern that she put on each of her ceramics has become the identity of her works that often be questioned for it’s meaning. It is a part of her way to express her liveliness personality and mixed of feelings as she described it as her “Alter Ego”. The shape of the pattern began with a doodle that was inspired by a retro phone cable which later on developed into pattern. The amount of emotions Frida Kahlo poured into her works as well as Basquiat’s exploration and explosion of colors played a very big part of her inspiration.

Margaret hopes to spare more of her time to create, to improve and moreover to re-master her style of pottery and to be recognize as an Artist of her exceptional works than merely a pottery teacher. “Be independent, discipline and strong.” Are 3 very important keys to her work ethics. “Somehow people see us, independent artists as people who are lazy and unorganized when in reality it’s the complete opposite. We have to make sure that everything goes in place without anyone to dictate us. Sometime i have to stay up all night just to look after my ceramic during it’s process because every step of our works has to be nurtured with both dedication and attention. You’ll spend a lot of your time and energy so if you don’t have that real passion or the persistency to become an Artist, then don’t do it.” Margaret Yap on what advice she would give to people who wants to become an Artist

Margaret Yap launched her ceramic lamps and tableware collection exclusively for Canaan and will do Ceramic Painting Workshop on Saturday, 12th of October 2019 at Niniveh Space

Meet Hanifia Rahmadiani and Titi Trisnaharti of Égon

Hanifia Rahmadiani (Fia) is a full-time technical product designer with a great enthusiasm for crafting, especially crochet. After obtained her diploma of fashion design and creation at Esmod Jakarta and an advanced diploma of fashion design at Raffles Institute, Fia took few jobs as a fashion stylist assistant as well as fashion designer assistant. She is now currently working at Metrox who later met her friend, Titi Trisnaharti (Abby) who studied Computer Graphics and Multimedia in Lasalle Jakarta and later become a creative director, creating the concepts for start-ups. Together they decided to create an endearing brand called Égon – which focused are on colorful daily accessories, with a hand-crocheted small bag called Le Déj as their signature.

In 2017, a year of where Égon started to produce large quantity of bags. Jane Birkin’s wicker bag played a very big part to the birth of the brand Egon. The large amount of left over fabrics of fashion design students is the main realization of where they perhaps should started to re-create them into a tote bag.

It is difficult to imagine for Fia to not do what she does as to become a fashion designer is her dream since she was in elementary school. Any movie with the Dorleac sisters which are the inspirations of Égon, Eric Rohmer visuals and table setting is always a go – They saw Conte d'Été and named their upcoming hat "La Crêpe" because when you fold it, it will look like one. They discussed a lot about their dream collabs but one of the thing that keep crossing their minds is with a patisserie or boulangerie, making an Égon flavored cake or vice versa (Coven Bakery is their favorite)

Apart from their brand Égon, Fia’s both mom and grandmother are the ones who keen to introduced her to world of crafting which later become Fia’s life-time passion. Whilst Abby, on the other hand is obsessed with a novel or movie based from Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden. Her dream was once to become a film director. Visual muses such as the painting Ophelia by Millais and uniquely vegetables, both Abby and Fia’s current obsession is the shape of lettuce.

Be on time, client experience and to create an “everyday” piece that is timeless and handcrafted are 3 very important aspects to their work ethics. Fia and Abby think that maybe in a world of where everything looks the same, the thing that could differ one brand to another is it’s background story. they are constantly trying to communicate Égon to the public, to make it more personal - as if Égon is a person instead of a brand. “So anyone could just like say hi to Égon. Making a warm environment not only for the customers, but also for the people who help us making Égon's products happens.”

“Be commited and don’t give up. Everything take a process, there’s beauty in waiting and patience is a Virtue.” Fia and Abby of Égon on what advice they’d like to share to fellow fashion designer who want to build a start-up

Égon launched their witty colorful pouches and bags exclusively for Canaan and will do Crochet Workshop this Saturday, 5th of October 2019 at Niniveh Space

Day Five at Canaan Drupadi

Enjoy some of the photos of our newly opened Canaan Drupadi at Jl Drupadi 1 no 11B (next to Coco Express).

Naruse Kiyoshi’s Banana Paper Lantern hangs perfectly above our white counter, a Japanese artisan Naruse has lived in Ubud for many years and we are so lucky to be working with Naruse for the second time. Designing for a small space has its challenges it’s almost like every corner has its multipurpose. Here are some tips we found were very useful when we collaborated with Zhi Xiong Chan of ZXC Studio for Canaan Drupadi, a compact 35sqm nook.

• find your natural light source and try as much to design around it.

• keep everything light meaning if you have a clean palette as a starting point then don’t overpower it with big bulky furnitures.

• divide the space, we have a coffee shop and a boutique inside so it was important to clearly have our own workable areas and we designed specifically for our needs.

• be more practical first then when the necessaty items are done you can add the things you love, for us it was the Japanese lantern, the Noren curtain, and of course you can never go wrong with fresh flowers and some naturally scented candles.

• have fun with it because you’ll get to enjoy the space for many more years to come.

There you go! Do you have any other tips for designing small spaces?

Canaan Drupadi Opening June 10th

Canaan x Rou will be officially open from Monday June 10th at Jalan Drupadi 1 no 11B.

Famous for their signature pour-over coffee or brewed coffee, Rou’s manual brewing is a slow art form in which making coffee is an enjoyable scene to watch. Their Matcha Lattes are equally gaining fans with its quality Kyoto-sourced Matcha best enjoyed cold!

New Arrivals This Week

Spring arrivals have finally arrived at Canaan Bali in time for Future Design Week. We recently experimented with Shibori tie-dye technique using bamboo cotton tees that were made in Jakarta. We sent the tees over to Tarum for colouring with natural dyes from plants and they turn out very eclectic! The Shibori tie-dye tees are available at both our stores in Bali and Jakarta.

We also collaborated with a design company based out of Surabaya called Cassia Studio and ordered a series of metal-based trays and containers in exclusive colours for Canaan. We picked out a deep red, dark navy and bright orange as our Spring palette. The collection also comes with a compact mirror that can be easily stored flat and re-adjust to stand on the tray when being used. They are perfect for keeping your stationary sleek, as a modern centrepiece or as multi-purpose trays for keys and daily essentials.

Some of other new arrivals this week are mini rattan totes from Warang Wayan designed by Yuri Tsuchiya, a Japanese designer living in Ubud. They come with soft leather handles in subtle colours making these rattan totes tres chic.

As part of Interwoven month at Unearth celebrating its first year anniversary we also introduced Haryo Soenggono’s handmade pottery at Canaan Bali together with Pot Cartel another ceramic studio that specialises in hand-pinching technique.

Tokyo - Inspired Rou Coffee

Rou Coffee is a Tokyo-inspired coffee shop located in Umalas, Bali. Partnering with us in our new boutique/coffee shop, we look into the founder of this specialty pour-over coffee and matcha bar. Founded by Yoshimi Miyashita, Rou was opened a few years ago catering to the residents of Umalas, a tranquil residential suburb only a short drive from Seminyak.

Yoshimi’s passion as a coffee entrepreneur and her dedication to her staff and space are some of the values we shared as business owners. Her concept of beans-to-cup ensures that each coffee you sip is of the highest quality. Rou’s Matcha powder is sourced directly from Kyoto, one of the places that produce top grade Matcha.

As a mother and businesswoman Yoshimi has proven that modern day Kartinis do exist. All is evident in Rou’s honest and personal service to their clienteles and serving only the most premium quality coffee beans.

Stay tuned to our journey of Canaan x Rou in Jalan Drupadi.
