Every now and then you come across something that doesn’t just catch your eye. It confirms something you already believed.
For me, that was Lana Daya.
I've had a soft spot for Indonesian craft for years. Something about it just stays with me. The patience, the slowness, the way every piece feels like it holds a story I'll never fully know. It's no surprise, really, that so much of my inspiration for STUDIO MIQUE comes from here. So when I first came across one of Lana Daya’s handwoven textiles, it stopped me for a moment.
But it wasn’t really the textile itself. It was the story behind it. The people, the intention.
Clarissa Nilistiani, Theresya Tan and I first started talking about working together at the end of 2024, and finally met over a video call in January 2025. That first call was the kind you have with people who just get it. We talked about craft, about heritage, about why the people behind a product matter just as much as the product itself. And we kept talking, over many months. The more I got to know Clarissa and Theresya, the more I thought: I want to help bring this to more people.
Lana Daya is the Indonesian home textiles label they founded together. Both studied at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, Clarissa in Textile Design and Theresya in International Fashion Business, before returning to Indonesia with a shared purpose: to keep Javanese textile craftsmanship alive and give it a contemporary voice. They work directly with local artisans and weavers across Java to create pillows, throws, table linens, and upholstery fabric, all made by hand, from natural materials, using techniques passed down through generations.
What makes their textiles so special is in the details. Natural fibres like jute, cotton, and silk, often handspun, so no two threads are exactly alike. Traditional Javanese techniques brought back to life: lurik weaving, weft floats on traditional looms, motifs drawn from heritage patterns that risk being forgotten. They even let the irregularities show. The uneven yarns, the small imperfections that tell you a human made this, not a machine. That’s not a flaw. That’s the whole point.
If you’ve been here a while, you already know this is everything I care about.
A home should never just look beautiful. It should feel like you. And that feeling doesn’t come from trends or catalogues. It comes from the things we live with that actually mean something. The textures made by real hands. The objects that hold a story you can feel before you even know what it is.
That’s what Lana Daya is. Every piece carries the care of the person who made it. And the more I learned about how much Clarissa and Theresya look after their weavers, how determined they are not to let this craft disappear, the more sure I felt.
So after a year of conversations, here we are. And honestly, it justs feels right to write this: Lana Daya is now available in Europe through STUDIO MIQUE.
This was never really about selling textiles. It's about showing people here what Javanese artisans are capable of. Through my eyes, and now, through your homes.
In a way, this is what I want to do with everything I make: to show the person behind the product. Because in the world of interiors, that part still stays hidden so often. We see the beautiful object, but rarely the hands that made it, the tradition it comes from, the life behind it. I want to change that, even just a little. To bring those people into the light, and into your home.
Because when you know who made something, you live with it differently. You don’t just put it on a shelf. You give it a home. You notice it. You keep it.
That’s why I believe in Lana Daya.
The collection is now available in Europe through STUDIO MIQUE. Want to see it, feel it, or request samples? Just get in touch via iamhome@studiomique.com or book an introduction to Lana Daya via the button below.
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Lana Daya pieces. And honestly, I feel grateful to be able to share the beauty of Indonesian craft with more people here in Europe.
With love,
Miek
