This August, Ahti Interiors unveiled its first pavilion at Jia CURATED 2025, Bali’s most anticipated experiential design showcase. Hosted at Bali Festival Park, Jia CURATED revived the once-deserted amusement grounds into a dynamic canvas for Indonesian and global creativity.
Rooted in the spirit of gotong royong (communal cooperation), the event featured over 70 installations and 200+ participating brands. Visitors walked through nature-reclaimed structures transformed into textile showcases, rattan furniture displays, and bamboo installations—blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design.
The theme for this year, “Evolving Perspectives,” invited audiences to reflect on culture, sustainability, and art. It was in this context that Ahti presented its pavilion, Invisible Limas—a space that blurred the boundaries between architecture, product, and ritual.
A Pavilion of Presence
Inspired by the traditional Javanese Limasan form, Invisible Limas explored how presence and ritual can shape contemporary design. More than just an installation, it was conceived as a sensorial journey—where light, scent, sound, and material come together to create an atmosphere of quiet reflection and connection.
Stepping into the pavilion, guests experienced shimmering reflective surfaces, grounding aromas, and subtle layers of light and sound. It wasn’t only about what could be seen, but also what could be felt. 
Collaboration at the Core
Invisible Limas was born out of collaboration with 12 creative partners, each contributing their craft and expertise to bring the vision to life:
- DDAP Architect – Architecture Partner
- TACO – Reflective Surfaces Partner
- House of Tin – Furniture & Styling Partner
- Altarize – Floor & Wall Finishing Partner
- Utama Spice – Scent & Wellness Elements
- Cendana Mas – Contractor Partner
- Prima Design – Lighting Design & Concept
- RHDK – Lighting Fixtures & Systems
- Akah Garden Lab – Landscape & Green Design
- Paper Diamonds – Creative Direction & Event Coordination
- Ellogrin – Decorative Lighting
- De Sound Bali – Sound Systems Partner
This spirit of gotong royong was reflected not only in the space itself, but in the process of building it—seamless collaboration, shared vision, and a collective drive to create something meaningful.
Looking Forward
For Ahti, Invisible Limas was more than a pavilion. It was a statement about what’s possible when design is grounded in presence, collaboration, and respect for ritual.
As Shalin Dewan, Founder of Ahti Interiors, shared:
“Invisible Limas was never about a single brand. It’s about what we can create together—how collaboration, presence, and respect for ritual can inspire spaces that go beyond design, into something deeply human.”
We’re deeply grateful to all our partners and to the Jia CURATED community for making this vision possible. Invisible Limas is just the beginning—and we look forward to continuing this journey of creating spaces that are immersive, soulful, and designed for life.
