Indospace Design Wins 1st Place at HIMKI Design Awards 2026
In 2026, Indospace proudly marked a defining moment in its journey by winning 1st Winner at the HIMKI Design Awards 2026 in the "Living Furniture" category for its exceptional creation, the Icon Swivel Lounge Chair.
This recognition highlights our dedication to innovation, craftsmanship, and architectural thinking in furniture design. More than simply creating seating, we develop pieces that redefine how people experience space, comfort, and movement.
The Winner: The Icon Swivel Lounge Chair
Let's be honest: traditional outdoor seating can be incredibly static. You're often stuck facing one direction, forcing you to choose between chatting with friends or enjoying the landscape. We wanted to solve that problem.
Enter our winning piece, Icon Swivel Lounge Chair. We designed it to add a kinetic, moving edge, allowing smooth 360-degree rotation to your outdoor living space.
This simple yet powerful feature creates a completely different seating experience.
Users can effortlessly rotate between:
- Social conversations with guests
- Watching activity around the patio
- Enjoying a sunset view
- Appreciating the surrounding landscape
Design Inspiration: Artisanal Heritage in Modern Living
Icon Swivel Lounge Chair draws from a simple yet meaningful reference: a woven basket found in a village home. Its structure inspired the chair’s signature square-weave rope shell, an expression of craftsmanship rooted in everyday objects and traditional making.
Rather than merely enclosing the sitter, the woven structure gently frames the body, creating a protective yet open form. The result is a sculptural piece where heritage techniques meet modern outdoor living.
By translating a familiar craft into refined furniture design, the chair carries a quiet sense of cultural memory, making it a natural fit for villas, terraces, resorts, and hospitality spaces seeking both authenticity and modern elegance.
"Inspired by an old woven basket we once saw in a village house, we designed this collection to connect modern lifestyles with craftsmanship and heritage passed down through generations, bringing stories of local culture into contemporary spaces" — Indospace Design Studio
A Reflection of Indospace's Philosophy
This award-winning chair embodies our broader philosophy as a furniture and architectural system brand: merging design intelligence with manufacturing excellence.
Rather than producing standalone items, we approach every product as an integral part of a larger spatial narrative. This perspective allows us to seamlessly integrate culturally rich, story-driven designs into modern architectural environments. Backed by over 23 years of craftsmanship and material expertise, we continue to elevate local heritage through contemporary innovation.
From Sketch to Global Stage
How do we pull off this level of detail? By handling the entire process ourselves.
Because we are a fully integrated designer and manufacturing company, every single step, from engineering the rattan swivel to hand-weaving the rope shell, happens right under our roof. This is the secret to our 25-year legacy of material expertise.
The HIMKI Design Awards: Celebrating Indonesian Creativity
Taking home this top prize at IFEX 2026 feels incredibly special because it validates our core mission. To win at HIMKI, the premier organization championing Indonesia's furniture and craft innovators, is a huge honor.
This year's theme was The Indonesian Signature: Craft, Culture, and World-Class Creation. The judges were looking for designs that celebrate regional identity while delivering true global sophistication. That is the exact sweet spot we strive for every day, and Icon Swivel Lounge Chair is the ultimate proof of that vision coming to life.
