CURRATORS’NOTES
This week in NY NOW , we celebrate
Indonesia’s diversity. Our nation’s many
cultures are its strenght and an inexhaustible source of inspiration. From
the inception of the nation, our diversity

has been a source of pride and unifying component: we do not need to all
be the same to be one nation. In their
exploration of contemporary Indonesian
designs, artisans and designers delve
into these cultures to create works that
reflect the very many facets of modern
Indonesia.

The cornerstone of this exhibition is to
promote the different creative stories of
our designers. Each have gone on a journey of aesthetic discovery. Their designs
are masterful reinterpretations of traditional ideas and indigenous materials.

Good design goes beyond
aesthetics, it draws you into a
new world. Indonesia is rich
with the diversity of its many
cultures and has an abudance
of natural resources. This
is greatly to our advantage
in the context of global
competition. With a solid

JAMOOGA
Education Toys & Home Decor
www.jamooga.com

Profile
Jamooga (tm) was born from our idea
and desire to produce educational toys for
children that are environmentally friendly
and designed in forms that are inspired by
traditional Indonesian cultures.
We understand, the roll of edu-toys play
in stimulating children’s motoric and
cognitive abilities. Thus, edu-toys have to
be designed based on collaborative ideas
among children development experts and
artists, to create imaginative and artistic
forms that have important roles to stimulate children’s cognitive abilities and body
bekraf.go.id

functions. Not the least, edu-toys have
to meet the standard of child’s safety on
materials and designed forms.
Jamooga has been conducting research
and development activities to meet the
standard of safety. At the begining we
chose some materials i.e metal, clay, and
wood for our samples. We tested those
materials to check the structures, strength,
and hazard possibilities to children.
We finally choose woods as our basic
material since they are relatively light, easy

to create forms, long lasting, and soft
enough in case a child bite the wooden
toys. Adding to that we choose finishing
materials that are natural and free-toxic i.e
bees wax and vegetable oil.
Our decision in choosing woods as basic
materials also allows us to participate in
re-use and recycling programs. As known
there are many wood cuts that merely
treated as industrial waste. We think those
wood cuts can be in better use if we give
added values.

KAYOU
Furniture
www.kayou.co.id
Profile
When people think of craftsmen, usually
image of a skilled artist comes to mind.
But in 2015, five architects who have
same passion about wood dedicated
their selves to establish a new company
specialized in wood furniture craftsmanship called Kayou. The word of Kayou is
originated from Bahasa Indonesia “kayu”
or it means “wood” in English.

In terms of material, our products are
made of high-quality solid wood. Only
few can deny the fact that solid wood
furniture looks beautiful in minimalist
design. It brings not only a feel of classic
but also quality décor to your space.
That’s why Kayou deliberately designs
minimalist products in order to highlight
the beauty of solid wood.

Kayou believes that every great design is
a team effort. Fortunately, we have highly
qualified and passionate wood craftsmen
that have their own unique style and perspective. This diversity helps us produce
exceptional craftsmanship for all clients.

Although our main specialty is crafting
solid wood, it doesn’t mean we are not
open with other materials. In the future,
we are going to extend our range product
by combining solid wood with leather,
metal or even stone. This is going to allow
us to bring you limited styles you can’t

bekraf.go.id

find anywhere else.
Our company’s vision also goes beyond
interior furnishing. We work hard to
bring you beautiful craftsmanship because
nothing can make us satisfied than see our
product become a masterpiece that you
can enjoy everyday.
So welcome to an experience like no
other. Here at Kayou.co.id, you’ll discover
extensive array of exclusive handcrafted
series for your interior space. Please enjoy
and make yourself at home.
