Ahti: A New Design Language Built on 40 Years of Heritage



When people first encounter Ahti, they often see a fresh, modern Bali-based brand — one that has quickly become known for warm minimalism, clean architectural lines, and a design sensibility that blends Scandinavian restraint with Balinese calm.
 

But behind the aesthetic is a story that stretches much further than our two years in Bali. 

Ahti stands on a foundation four decades in the making. 

A Heritage of Manufacturing & Global Supply 

Ahti was born from the legacy of the Aquaforce Group — a long-established manufacturing and trading network that has operated for more than 40 years across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. 

Through Aquaforce’s long-standing partnerships with global factories and suppliers, more than one million units have been delivered to markets around the world. 
This supply ecosystem has supported major commercial developments, including Riyadh Airport and a range of high-profile hospitality, residential, and infrastructure projects across the region. 

Although Ahti and Aquaforce operate as separate, independent businesses, Ahti benefits from the deep supply chain expertise, trust, and manufacturing stability that this heritage provides. 

This is why, even as a young design brand, Ahti enters the market with the confidence and infrastructure of a company far older than two years. 

European Design Sensibility, Balinese DNA 

Ahti’s design philosophy sits at the intersection of two worlds: 

European design sensibility 

– clean lines 
– disciplined proportions 
– technical clarity 
– a focus on materials, form, and long-term reliability 

Balinese architectural warmth 

– natural textures 
– indoor–outdoor harmony 
– soft light and calming tones 
– a feeling of stillness and tactility 

This fusion shapes every collection we develop. 
It’s why architects and designers describe Ahti as “modern yet warm,” “minimal but not cold,” and “simple in form but rich in feeling.” 

Our products are not meant to shout. 
They are designed to sit quietly within a space, enhancing it with subtle refinement and timeless coherence. 

 

A Young Brand With Decades of Strength Behind It 

To many in Surabaya, Jakarta, and new markets beyond, Ahti appears young — because the brand identity and design language are young. 
But our capability is not. 

Behind every Ahti product is: 

  • 40+ years of supply and manufacturing knowledge 
  • Decades of tried-and-tested supplier relationships 
  • A stable engineering backbone 
  • Proven consistency across global markets 

We are a brand with the aesthetic clarity of Europe, the soul of Bali, and the operational stability of a global supply ecosystem. 

 

Why This Matters for Our Clients 

For architects, interior designers, developers, and contractors, choosing a new brand requires trust. 

Ahti offers that trust through: 

  • reliable long-term availability 
  • project-friendly pricing 
  • technical support and installation guidance 
  • a warranty ecosystem supported by real spare-parts infrastructure 
  • a design language that enhances, not complicates, architectural work 

In other words: 
Ahti is new in design — not new in capability. 
Young in branding — not young in expertise. 
Modern in expression — established in foundations. 

 

Looking Ahead 

Ahti’s vision is to redefine modern bathroom design in Southeast Asia by bringing together: 

  • European precision 
  • Balinese warmth 
  • sustainable thinking 
  • dependable manufacturing 
  • and deep project-based support 

As we expand into Surabaya, Jakarta, and beyond, our story becomes increasingly important. 
Because the more clients understand our history, the more they understand the reliability behind our brand — and the easier it becomes for them to trust Ahti with their projects. 

Ahti may be a new name. 
But the world behind it has been built over four decades.
