Royal Selangor is collaborating with Nini Marini, a Malaysian multidisciplinary artist and creative entrepreneur, to celebrate art and craftsmanship this Aidilfitri. This entails bringing you beautiful Hari Raya gifts wrapped in Furoshiki - the art of wrapping gifts using patterned, decorative fabric. 

The vibrantly coloured wrapper cloth comes in two elegant floral designs: Batik and Starburst - both inspired by Malaysian flora. 

The Batik piece pays homage to Malaysian batik design, inspired by local plants. The colours on Batik are a departure from Marini’s usual rainbow palette. On the other hand, Starburst was created in a bid to create a true floral collection based on Malaysian flowers. Exploring chalky colours, Marini’s Starburst is an interpretation of a forest tree in bloom, bringing vibrance to any space. 

“I am so honoured and excited with my partnership with Royal Selangor.  It is a dream to be able to say that my art is being used to wrap beautiful pewter and I cannot wait to see what everyone thinks of it!” she said.
