On Friday, October 28, 2011, UPH Interior Design, Faculty of Design & Planning held a talk show entitled ?Furniture and Professions.? Approximately 70 students attended the talk show which held in the Youth Area, Upperground, Supermal Karawaci.
In this talk show, one of the furniture designers from the Indonesia Furniture Designers Association (HDMI), Satya Brahmantya, shared his experiences on the development of furniture in Indonesia. According to Satya Brahmantya, “you can not become furniture designer instantly. It took a long process. We must know the basic ingredients and materials that will be used in our design.”
In 1995-1996, Indonesia entered a golden era in furniture exports. However, unfortunately, in 2003 world crisis occurred and affected exports to foreign countries. At the time of the crisis, exports number declined drastically and many furniture companies and manufactures in Indonesia were closed. Fortunately in 2009-2011, the furniture industry in Indonesia has been improved and developed.
Through this event, Martin L. Katoppo, Head of Interior Department UPH, would like to invite students and alumni to introduce UPH Interior Design Department to the community by cooperating with media, industry, and designer associations. Later, UPH Interior Design Student Body will hold exhibitions outside UPH so that people can see the works and creation of students and alumni.
Besides the talk show, there were also exhibition of alumni and students? creation, interior clinic by alumni association, DIMM (Young Designers Interior Design), product launching, and alumni gathering. The event was held on October, 29-30 in the Youth Area, Upperground-Supermal Karawaci.(bs)
