One would place a pidangan (embroidery frame) on the stand so that the pidangan can be elevated and have a hollow space underneath to facilitate the needlework. It was made by an experienced carpenter who also did the restoration and fitting of the wooden interior of her shop, Rumah Bebe.Bebe Seet is the founder of Rumah Bebe, a boutique that offers Peranakan cuisine and fashion.
