Indonesia Design, in collaboration with Plaza Indonesia, officially introduced Opulent Living 2025: Embarking on a Design Odyssey through an intimate press conference that brought together industry leaders, acclaimed creatives, and the media. Opening remarks by Lina Gan, editor-in-chief of Indonesia Design; Zamri Mamat, deputy chief marketing officer of Plaza Indonesia; and Harry Fatkan, project director of Opulent Living 2025, underscored a shared vision of elevating Indonesian design through meaningful collaboration and thoughtful curation.
In a refreshing format, the designers selected for this year’s exhibition took the lead in hosting the session. Each offered a glimpse into the story, inspiration, and meticulous process behind their work, setting the tone for an engaging exchange between creators and the journalists in attendance. This designer-led approach enriched the dialogue and offered the media an authentic understanding of the creative intentions shaping the exhibition.
A guided media tour followed, giving journalists the very first preview of the installations. Moving from one designer’s space to another, they experienced a showcase that engaged all the senses—an encounter with artistry, craftsmanship, and refined materiality. Doorstop interviews concluded the session, allowing deeper, spontaneous conversations that further illuminated the narrative behind the exhibition.
The initiative proved highly effective. With firsthand immersion, journalists gained a deeper appreciation of the works, resulting in positive and thoughtful coverage across platforms. Many positioned Opulent Living 2025 as a groundbreaking tribute to Indonesian design excellence, highlighting its refined taste, craftsmanship, and cultural richness. Several reports also emphasised its immersive concept, describing the exhibition as a curated journey through sensory and artistic narratives, an invitation to embark on a design odyssey that blends visual expression with experiential storytelling.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our media partners for their support and for amplifying the significance of Opulent Living 2025, helping reinforce Indonesia’s standing as a hub for sophisticated design.
