Interior designer Yuni Jie, founder of Jie Design, has mastered Japandi style that she loves so much. That’s why, owners of the Permata Hijau House asked her to design their home with the style. Yuni talked with Indonesia Design about the back stories of the design process.
What briefs did you get from the client?
They specifically requested a mix of Japanese home with Scandinavian interior. Something that is sleek and clean, but still functional and warm. Aside from that, they wanted a highly automated home, too.
Why do you think Japandi style is right for their house?
I think the style suits them because they love practical design and clean aesthetics line. And they love a mix style of East and West.
How do you imagine people would feel once they step into the house? I think you would immediately feel sophisticated. The client has a superb taste and lifestyle, indeed.
Which part of the house are you most satisfied with?
I love the mix of all the Danish classic furniture inside a modern architecture. They look very contemporary, yet timeless at the same time.
With regard to the work system that you and the architect used, what was it like?
We basically respect each other’s expertise. And this was not my first time working with Denny Gondo. So, we know the flow and the division of each party’s scope of work.
