Each year, The Colours of Indonesia (TCOI) exhibition celebrates the nation’s most visionary interior designers through an immersive design showcase. The 2024 edition, held at Senayan City, carried the theme Summer Home — a warm, spirited concept that explores the joy of seasonal living, relaxed sophistication, and intimate connection with space.
To commemorate this year’s event, ID12 has published a special coffee table book, created as a heartfelt token of appreciation for the sponsors whose support made TCOI 2024 possible. More than a catalogue, this publication is a curated archive of ideas, textures, and atmospheres that defined the exhibition — capturing the essence of each space and the narratives behind them.
Among the most memorable installations is Blue Note, a hobby room designed by Eko Priharseno, the founder and design director of AEDI Design Bureau. Conceived as a spatial expression of smooth jazz, Blue Note is an ode to rhythm, nostalgia, and soulful design. “I wanted the space to feel like a tune — something you can get lost in,” says Eko.
The room’s irregular layout is a playful homage to vinyl records and the iconic aesthetics of the 1960s. Sinuous curves meet bold geometric forms —executed with care by contractor Biraprana. One wall plays with depth using Arte wallpaper layered over textured paint from Suzuka Paint by SEIO Group.
An indoor planter filled with sea pandan from Eshcol Green adds a natural accent. The geometry above is echoed by sleek Vibia pendant lights, offering soft, architectural lighting. Beneath it, a custom floor pattern by TEKA draws from traditional Indonesian weaving — subtle, grounded, and textural.
Storage is integrated thoughtfully: a Poliform Code wall system doubles as bar and display, while a playful USM shelf offers storage for records, books, and plants. Seating is sculptural yet relaxed — the Brera sofa by Poliform, Sumo lounge chair by Maison Dada, and La Chaise by Vitra create an inviting, layered ensemble. Additional lighting and furnishings by AMI Door + Lighting and MOIE complete the composition.
True to Eko’s approach, the room is layered with meaning: classic pieces mingle with personal treasures, and every element contributes to a sense of flow and warmth. The result is a space that encourages lingering — a modern sanctuary that balances emotional resonance with refined design.
The TCOI 2024 coffee table book serves not only as a visual record of the exhibition but also as a celebration of collaboration and creative spirit. Its pages reflect the shared passion that defined this year’s event — from designers to sponsors, artisans to curators.
