Rezaliando and Fizah Rahim helm a team at MACHINEAST that has swayed brands such as NIKE and IBM to their distinctive style. With personal links to Padang, Sarawak and the regions that host weaving centres for the Maybank Women Eco-Weavers programme, memories of childhood, histories and home traditions were part of MACHINEAST’s considerations for their creative practice. Spanning the commercial and artistic, these powerhouses work across cultural contexts to represent Southeast Asia on a global scale.
