Foreword
The New Face
of Indonesia
Welcome to Indonesia, the land of a thousand smiles, stifling humidity, intense traffic
and countless creative possibilities. Known for centuries across the Western world as
‘The Jewel of Asia’, the Indonesia of today is currently reveling in the astounding upward
trajectory it is experiencing with regards to its economy, culture and innovation. This
fact has inevitably resulted in the local creative industry experiencing a level of growth
it has never previously experienced.
Yet despite the increase in optimism and possibilities, this underdeveloped
industry is still largely preoccupied in finding its own voice – or should we say spirit –
in a cluttered market dominated by international brands and aesthetics that has
resulted in Indonesians drawing less artistic inspiration from their own centuries-old
rich heritage and more from the latest imported trends filtering down from Tokyo,
Paris, London or New York. This is where we are determined to make a visible and
viable difference. Taking inspiration from the country’s wealth in artisanal beauty
and traditional culture that continues to provide creative minds with ample food for
thought, we aim to design and create modern, beautiful, high quality, functional and
original everyday furniture that not only reflect the nation’s centuries-old identity, but also products with an international and modern appeal that are able to gratify
in the break-neck world of contemporary international design.
On top of that, alvinT strives to present Indonesians with furniture they can
be proud of. By doing this we hope to provide a glimpse into the rich creative
Indonesia of tomorrow.

Interviews
On Modern
Indonesian Design
AlvinT strives to do more than just produce furniture.
Our tagline, Designed by an Indonesian, made in Indonesia
for Indonesia and the rest of the world, reflects our struggle
to be distinctive yet relevant. While we aim to carve a truly
modern Indonesian sensibility, we try to always look at the
bigger picture. How would we represent Indonesia in a larger,
more global context? This is not a task that we can undertake
on our own. This must be a collective effort. Hence, we look
to our counterparts in various creative fields, whose success
stories inspire and motivate us to further our cause.

In your opinion, what sorts of challenges are standing in the
way of the development of Indonesian design?
Indonesia has an unbelievably rich and vast cultural
heritage that is still a part of daily life. It’s a blessing to have
such an intense and unique background, but it comes with
challenges. It seems that Indonesia biggest struggle (culturally speaking) is how to adapt to contemporary global
culture while still maintaining its own identity. This is

fashion and product designers. We curate a selection of

The first Brightspot Market took place in early 2009.
How has the public responded to your ideas/ projects/
products?
Prior to starting Brightspot, there were very few outlets for
these creatives to sell their goods. We had a hard time convincing people of what we were trying to achieve, including
some of the brand owners themselves. Many people continued to think that Indonesian design was supposed to be
traditional or that the quality was sub-standard and less
desirable than international products. After the first event

of good design, the trail continues.
The creative industry has certainly evolved over the past
couple of years. The creative process has become more
advanced. We’re seeing the adoption of foreign influences---Australian, Japanese, and Scandinavian—into local
contexts, resulting in unique ideas. You can’t just import
an idea and expect it to work the same magic. Besides, you
won’t be able to create a strong identity for your brand that
way. Thanks to the Internet, people can now easily access
information. Social media in particular has played a pivotal
role. People are able to gather inspiration and ideas from
different parts of the world. They’re seeing things they’ve
to do with the government but now more and more of them
want to be involved so hopefully things will improve in the
near future.
Another challenge we’re currently facing is the lack
of technical skills. People may have ideas but as long
as they are not invested in learning about the technical
details, they’re limited in terms of what they can do and
they can’t achieve the quality. Of course part of it is also
due to our lack of infrastructure. The key to success is the
ability to evolve, and produce quality goods in an efficient
and sustainable manner.

way of the development of Indonesian culture?
Accessibility is certainly an issue. Indonesia is a vast and
diverse country. People used to always look to the cities.
Now, the trend is changing. Urban life has become so distracting. More and more creative people are finding inspiration in smaller towns. For example, now it only takes us
10
Of course, we cannot compare Indonesia with other
countries. Japan for example, is easily recognized for its innovative technology. Indonesia is an archipelago, made of
thousands of islands, each with its own distinct culture. It
may be more difficult for us to synthesize a singular identity but that’s because we’re a culturally rich nation. We just
have not managed to package our culture within an interesting narrative.
Indonesia is going?
I’m optimistic about the latent potential within our smaller towns. There are plenty of resources that are infinitely
more interesting. They should be considered a destination
because there’s more to explore in Indonesia beyond the
capital city.

Perfectly

Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind.
—Johannes Brahms
Design might form the central element of our work, yet the integral role that craftsmanship plays cannot be ignored. To fully understand the intricate work that goes into the
making of alvinT products, it is imperative to fully appreciate the high level of craftsmanship that goes behind it.
Realizing the importance of properly utilizing Indonesia’s strength in its abun-
dance of skilled and talented craftsmen, alvinT makes a point of working together with
local manufacturers and appropriates local products in producing high-grade hand
crafted furniture that are painstakingly yet caringly assembled by the skilled hands of
our craftsmen, thus reflecting Indonesia’s artisanal heritage. Even though this method
of manufacturing may be more time-consuming in the long run, we feel that it is crucial
in order to maintain the local identity as well as preserve that special ‘hand made’ feel
that provides added value as well as increasing the overall appreciation of our work.
While alvinT strives to uphold this traditional method of manufacturing where
each product goes through a long yet rewarding process, we still have our eyes fixed on
the present day through our use of contemporary designs that are firmly placed in the
here and now. Imperfections, something that invariably occurs when using this processalso lends its own characteristic element that adds depth to the original design, setting
these products apart from mass-produced goods. In essence, we are passionate to upgrade and refine the image of local furniture design industry.

One thing that Indonesia offers in abundance is the year-round experience of natural
beauty in the form of the great outdoors. The tropics’ natural surroundings offer sights,
smells and sounds that prove to be an inspiration to anyone from any walk of life, let
alone designers. The breath of fresh air, the glint and warmth of the morning sun and
the acoustic pleasures of the varied flora and fauna provides ample joys that cannot be
found within the confined spaces of indoor living. Taking advantage of these outdoor
surroundings is what we all should aspire to, be it for improving our quality of life in
general or by taking inspiration from what nature offers us to create our own art.
Our surrounding environment has heavily inspired us throughout the design process. Organic and floral like shape illustrates the delightful sense of being outdoors,
pleasing warm climate inspire us to draw slim proportion and breathable textures to
maximize air circulation while modern proportion and size caters to the contemporary
lifestyle and comfort. All products is made using high quality outdoor materials that
fits for both residential and commercial environments. Ultimately we aim to create a
special and rather unorthodox encounter from your typical outdoor experience with a
character and style that is unique.

Indonesian sensation hints at an intricate balance of moods between equatorial and

Product Highlights | Amarta
The humble origins of the Windsor chair might lay closer to the English
Channel than the Straits of Malacca, but nonetheless we’re taking liberties in
drawing inspiration from its timeless sense of class. The Amarta features an elegant chair influenced by this classic piece of furniture. This reinterpretation
takes the basic cues of the iconic Windsor chair while utilizing durable local
material, rattan. Rattan’s flexibility accommodates the curvature of the product, which in turn lends an air of playfulness to the chair, making it a perfect
fit for modern tastes. We aim to elevate the classic image of the rattan from
a material used solely for traditional crafts to one that is easily integrated into
modern contemporary designs.

About Alvin
Indonesian-born product designer Alvin Tjitrowirjo has built a solid and respectable
career over the last couple of years. He has distinguished himself from the rest by remaining truthful to the place from whence he came. His choice of materials and his involvement in the preservation of local heritage reflect his love and respect toward the
Indonesian tradition. Beyond that, his breadth of work shows that design is more than
mere ornamentation; that it can be an integral, interactive part of people’s lives.
Graduated from RMIT University in Australia, Alvin has always had a penchant
for art and design, stretching back to his primary school years. Upon returning from
Australia, his ‘Bell Chair’ was selected and exhibited at Salone Satelitte in Milan (2005).
After relocating back to Indonesia in 2006, Alvin soon garnered respect from local
design audience, by staging collaborations with local & international brands as well as
Indonesian leading design figures. Alvin then continued his studies at the IED Instituto
Europeo di Design, Madrid with a master’s degree in Product Design. Soon after his
time in Europe, which included a stint at celebrated Dutch designer Marcel Wanders in
Amsterdam, Alvin established his brand alvinT in Jakarta, Indonesia. In 2010 and 2011
Alvin’s products were exhibited in Harrods, London supported by the Indonesian ministry of trade. Placing a strong importance on creating a distinct brand of Indonesian
design that draws from the country’s centuries old love of art and by utilizing local
artisans and craftsmen, Alvin has since continued to spread his influence on the local
design scene. Alvin is now firmly based in Jakarta, continuously building and expanding
his furniture brand alvinT and leading his design firm alvinT Studio that now focuses
creating authentic environment in hospitality, residential, and commercial sector.

Our Projects
At alvinT Studio we believe that “fresh ideas encased with a strong visual character” is
an indispensable investment” Whether it’s a restaurant, hotel, furniture or a collection
of sanitary ware. Good design creates the right atmosphere for customers. It communicates and consolidates the right brand identity. It also sets one apart from the rest and
helps promote leadership.
We carefully study the needs of our clients. Our team evaluates their brand positioning and target customers, the services and products offered as well as the environment
where they will compete. We strive to push design boundaries with the aim of producing
original work while still keeping an eye on the economics and functionality of the space.
We had just completed a Modern Sushi restaurant owned by Food and Beverage

Dapoer & 100 Bar
Dapoer & 100 Bar’s concept is constructed
around the mystical and flavourful history
of Indonesian culture and cuisine, not only
the local varieties and specialties but also
the social rituals and hospitality surrounding
food in Indonesia.
The interior showcases rich diversity
and cultural heritage through a mixture of
texture, colors and materials that are typical
Indonesian, re-interpreted through a contemporary approach that results is an exciting and
vibrant modern version of Indonesia. The
restaurant and bar consists of a main dining
area and 4 private rooms that were individually designed to reflect different moods. A
great deal of effort was put into designing
the details of this restaurant; from the patterns of the flooring, the façade of the bar,
to the patterned ceiling on the main dining
area and to the suspended terracotta potted
plant-pendants.
The 100 BAR, is a stylish terrace-bar in
a newly built annex of the existing building.
The 100 Bar displays an open-plan dining
area with high ceilings. The wooden deck
combined with outdoor furniture creates a
mixed atmosphere of bringing the outdoor

Projects | Cening Kids Club
Cening Kids Club
Located in Grand Aston hotel Tanjung Benoa
in Bali Cening is a kids club that facilitates
as a play and rest center as well as day care
for visitors of the hotel. ‘Cening’ means children derived from Balinese Language displays a rather unorthodox visual appearance
of a typical kidsclub. AlvinT Studio created a
stand-alone structure using lightweight metal
construction, covered in glass and layered
with woven rattan held together with patterned metal frame. As sunlight easily comes
in, there is always an intriguing shadow
play for the kids and parents to enjoy. Twooversized cocoon was specially designed for
children to lounge as which in fact it was often
also enjoyed by the parents.

Projects | Toto Toja Series
TOTO TOJA Series
TOTO TOJA is an exclusive sanitary collection designed by alvinT Studio. For too long
the toilet bowl has assumed the same amorphous shape, alvinT Studio wanted to try creating something fresh and out of the ordinary.
After ample research, alvinT worked closely
with TOTO’s engineering team in order to
better understand the design limitations as
well as technical specifications behind what
goes into making a handsome yet functional
toilet unit.
AlvinT Studio started with the chamfer
box shape, which was later tapered to give it
a sleek, modern and dynamic outlook. This
element is repeated throughout the whole
series—from the toilet, the faucet, washbasin/sink, and showerhead. AlvinT Studio also
designed the display to represent the whole
concept of a modern bathroom, to showcase
that a modern toilet unit is no longer seen as
something unsanitary, but a work of art that
homeowners will proudly show off and display in their homes.

Projects | Chrysalis
Chrysalis
The notion of a new design character always
develops with time from its infancy towards
maturity. This art installation is a representation of a stage of transformation between
infancy and maturity within the contemporary Indonesian design world. There has been
a surge of modernism penetrating our daily
lifestyles and Influences have come from all
parts of the world, which indirectly shape
the visually what modern design is within
the local society. Chrysalis is a development
of understanding towards modernism within
Indonesia. Its shape conceived from a frozen
movement of an organism blossoming towards a direction yet to be known.
Made out of Rattan, a material that is
common to the local eyes but hasn’t secured
its proper respect, the installation is mounted
on top of a stage to be represented as workin-process and also a milestone for this development of understanding what what contemporary Indonesian design can be in the near
future.

Ongoing Projects
At alvinT Studio, we are always enthusiastic
in exploring different types of projects. We
explore the client’s potential from the space
and interior point of view to the products and
decor creating a unique identity and additional added value.
Currently we are working on a new boutique hotel brand in Bali where we are responsible for the complete interior and furniture
design. We are also working on the second
outlet of successful cake shop Colette & Lola
in a popular shopping mall that has a daring
yet playful design concept but still perpetuates its brand identity, a restaurant in a high
end private residential tower and a façade of a
boutique shopping center in west Java.
