    In today’s fast-paced design culture, where meeting deadlines and launching new products dominate the conversation, there’s little room to consider what happens to excess materials. “JEJAK” is a reflection on this very issue—a response to our collective tendency to prioritize the new while neglecting the past. It’s a reminder that sometimes, progress requires us to slow down.

    “JEJAK” is a celebration of design thinking cycle, material honesty and artisan skill. It balances thoughtful design with a deep respect for process, showing that even the remnants can hold meaning. Through “JEJAK,” we invite others to see residue not as waste, but as potential.


    This year, we are proud to take part in EMERGE Singapore, presenting another material exploration that our studio is always excited to pursue.

    Named Jejak, this functional art piece becomes a striking focal point of the space, created in collaboration with the unexpected waste threads from @floorstudio.id

    Jogja springs from the concept of ruins, from which both entities have their roots. For ages, even centuries, they were forged, a sign to the labor of human hands. The echoes of a great humanity from long ago.

    Each fragment may have tumbled from a high plateau, yet they bear witness to nature’s unfolding.

    Creating a tapestry of history, where the masculine and feminine entwine, a beautiful narrative, shaped through time.

    – From time to time,

    Ruins fall upon the plain,

    Chaotic, yet composed,

    Bold as tales that long remain.

  • Studio Hendro Hadinata x Dimarmo (Italy)

    A young and dynamic company based in Puglia, Dimarmo is where designers and skilled artisans come together to harness stone working traditions. Using an innovative lightened marble technique under the artistic direction of Studio Sid&sign, Dimarmo offers a collection of seats, tables, and accessories with a strong and original personality. All pieces in the collection are one of a kind and made by hand, characterized by geometric and monolithic shapes that showcase the precious stone’s veins.

    Despite being worlds apart, Studio Hendro Hadinata entered into a unique collaboration with Dimarmo, a marble specialist based in Puglia, Italy. Our goal was to create a collection that honors the shared values and distinct cultures of both companies.

    Our differing backgrounds did not hinder the process; instead, they fueled a thoughtful and significant partnership. The result is ‘Jogja’—a product line that bridges Italian craftsmanship with Indonesian heritage.

    Redlining the identity of our ancestors and linking it to who we are today. Honoring and elevating the past. Bridging heritage with modernity.

    We believe the most important aspect is to place a high value on traditional craftsmanship. By doing this, we create a connection between our ancestral heritage and our modern activities through contemporary design.

    What do you value the most?


    We proudly present Rambu Collection, born from a heartfelt effort to gain a deeper understanding of our ancestors in Sumba, Indonesia.

    Our studio believes that by creating heritage-focused designs, we are not only enhancing the design itself but also the landscape of traditional culture. At the heart of it all is a return to our roots, to what our ancestors accomplished in the past.

    Through design, we want to give people the chance to fall in love again with the rich culture of Indonesia.

    Behold Rambu Collection, born from a harmonious collaboration between @studio_hendro_hadinata and the hands of Sumbanese artisans. Weaving together the essence of local culture.

    Its gentle curves, like river pebbles shaped by time, are a memory of our first steps on Sumba’s shores. Etched with embossed symbols of the earth elements. These forms whisper nature’s stories, inviting all to embrace the quiet beauty of this singular, monomaterial piece.

    Studio Hendro Hadinata is proud to participate in the annual Salone del Mobile.Milano in Italy. For this global stage, we present our latest theme: “Material of Interest.”

    “Material of Interest” represents our studio’s commitment to design through the lens of material processes. It highlights the research and experimentation that define our practice. We will be exhibiting several final outputs from our material explorations, including:

    • Stone Carving: Translating ancient masonry into functional art.
    • Recycled Glass: Exploring transparency and energy efficiency.
    • Metal Weaving: Merging industrial strength with traditional textile gestures.
    • Recycled Plastic: Transforming waste into durable, contemporary forms.
    • Indonesian Wood: Honoring local timber through modern craftsmanship.

    Our journey of Equipoise began with a genuine curiosity about the impact of recycled materials on environmental issues. We embarked on a project in Bali while simultaneously exploring opportunities to collaborate with local artisans specializing in recycled glass craftsmanship. We created Equipoise as a way to highlight the fragility yet sustains material from the locals.

    Developing relationships with local crafters is crucial in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of their challenges and doing collaboration. Through this participatory design approach, we actively engage with crafters, seeking their insights to identify issues and jointly explore innovative solutions that align with our shared vision.


    Why is it meaningful for a designer to create from waste?

    In the world of recycled glass, few items are truly elevated into high-value objects. We recognized the potential in the small-scale items currently produced by Balinese crafters—plates, cups, and mini aquariums. While these items have gained a solid reputation, a lack of new design has led to a saturated market where everyone produces the same work, making it difficult for individual crafters to compete.

    Beyond the economic struggle, there is a hidden environmental cost. The Balinese crafters explained that to produce these small items, their kilns must remain on continuously for weeks to reach and maintain the necessary temperatures. This results in incredibly high energy consumption for a relatively low-value output.

    We proposed a challenge to the crafters: What if we created larger, more significant pieces? By shifting from small trinkets to substantial furniture, the kiln can be used more effectively, producing high-value objects in less time and reducing overall energy consumption.

    The result of this conversation is Equipoise Side Table—a fusion of resourcefulness, energy efficiency, and contemporary design.
