Jaya Ibrahim’s long and lanky frame shudders slightly when asked if there is a house Jaya & Associates style. “It is not a style,” he insists, “it is an approach.”
Indeed, the interior designer responsible for some of the most distinctly Asian spaces around the globe – The Legian Bali, The Chedi Milan and Miami’s Mei apartments come immediately to mind – is the first to admit he is a self-trained artisan. After spending a few of his childhood years in Singapore, the Indonesian native grew up and was educated England. In university, he followed the footsteps of his banker turned diplomat father, and majored in economics. However, he decided to go slumming in 1980s London upon graduation, and landed in the office of Anouska Hempel as her assistant.
“My job was putting her design together,” he recalls of those heady days when British design was breaking through and asserting itself on the global stage. “It was a matter of ensuring that the Anouska Hempel style came through as strongly as possible.” After doing his time as Hempel’s apprentice and amassing experience on numerous hotels and residences, Ibrahim felt confident enough to start his own firm in 1991. It was time to go home to Yogyakarta.
“London was suffering from a financial crisis and Indonesia was seeing the beginning of a hotel boom,” explains Ibrahim. “There were also family matters that necessitated me going home. But also very importantly, I wanted to find out whether I had enough strength to create my own designs and not just look after someone else’s projects.” (info dari Sleeper Magazine)
Jaya Ibrahim does not wish to call his work a style but rather a “an approach of work in the service of design”, his signature remains present in all of his achievements.
His timeless thoughts regarding interior design transcends all cultures and betrays his very distinctive background: Asian sense of aesthetics (inherited from his homeland, the beautiful island of Bali), he grew up and was educated in England, he holds a degree in business and finance and has travelled extensively around the world.
When approaching a hotel project, he seeks to create lively vibrant places rather than focusing on the commercial nature of the enterprise. What counts for him is to create inspired places for the hotel’s guests. He wants the guest to be free to use the rooms at their discretion and without any hindrance or restraint: "a guest needs to relax and escape from whatever kind of day they may have had or whatever they may have on their mind."
That is why, the interior designer must know how to forget about himself and focus on valuing the place first ahead of any self serving concept of style.
