For IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bali, August 4th 2016. – Unveiling of a commissioned Lontar and Lontar Exhibition at the Hatten Wines Building in Sanur.

Hatten Wines unveils a commissioned Lontar piece which finds its home in the Hatten Wines Private Dining Room by Gaggenau. This commissioned Lontar tells the story of humanity’s connection to the Divine, completing the illustration of the Tri Hita Karana principles in the venue. Along with the concepts of integration of nature and creating a communal social environment, the Lontar’s exquisitely etched text depicts a story of how humans cultivate their relationship with their creator. Etched by Bapak Ida Bagus Nyoman Buruan, from Desa Sidemen, Karangasem. The Lontar is single sided and encased in a présentoir to be displayed in the Private Dining Room of the Hatten Wines Building. Normally written with sacred text and preserved in family scripts, these exquisite pieces of art are rarely seen in public. Containing legends, recipes, directives as to crops and subak, the lontars of Bali keep many secrets and historical data. The lontar of Hatten Wines features a story of the gods and the men who worship them. To celebrate the unveiling of the new Hatten Wines Lontar, a cocktail welcoming Member’s of the Cellardoor wine club, members of the Sanur community and personnel of Hatten Wines, will be held on August 4th and followed by a 3 day long exhibition showing a selection of Lontars studied by linguists and historians. The Lontar exhibition at the Hatten Wines building will last 3 days from August 5th to August 7th, will be opened to public from 10:00am to 17:00 daily, and will host the Lontars studied by scholar Sugi Lanus. Bapak Sugi and his team of linguists will present the Lontars and their importance in Bali’s culture and society, and also the great knowledge they keep for Bali. During the unveiling, another exquisite Lontar will be presented: a unique work created for the Library of Congress in Washington.

Sugi Lanus was born in 1972 in the northern coastal area of Bali. He studied Balinese and Old Javanese language and literature at Udayana University, Bali. In 2006, he founded Hanacaraka Society, a non-profit organization concerned with preserving and studying classical Bali and Lombok texts. Apart from lecturing at several universities in Bali, he attended international seminars and symposiums, mostly on Bali culture.

Tri Hita Karana Tri Hita Karana, the Harmonious Balance Life Philosophy, is integrated in the décor concept of the Private Dining Room at the Hatten Wines Building. The décor shows the integration of the Pawongan (human relation to the fellow humans that concurrently constitutes the reflection of human essence as social creature) with the community of men and women surrounding our table over a shared meal and Palemahan (relationship between human and with nature) opening on the terrace where water, stone and plants represent nature and now with the Lontar piece unveiled, Parhyangan (relationship between the human being to their Creator). Hatten Wines Building Hatten Wines recently opened a new facility in Sanur, along with esteemed partners German luxury home appliances Gaggenau, high end glassmakers Schott Zwiesel and elegant cabinetry makers, Toto Kitchen. The new building is a warehouse style building, housing a wine hub bubbling with activities: wine classes, wine tasting, private dining room, wine distribution offices – the Hatten Wines Building becomes the new landmark of Sanur. This new building houses the distribution company staff members and marketing team of the wine company, but goes far beyond being merely an office facility. By conceptualizing the building as a wine hub, Hatten Wines is expanding its reach to its clients with education in mind.
