After Its Success in Japan, Atelier Riri Brings “More or Less” Back to Indonesia

After successfully holding his latest exhibition, “More or Less,” for the first time in Tokyo, Japan, it has attracted a lot of attention from the public, as seen from the many compliments he received from various media and circles because of his efforts in introducing and displaying the richness and excellence of Indonesian tropical architecture through design philosophy with a touch of Atelier Riri’s distinctive approach.

In a relatively short period, Atelier Riri brought it back to Indonesia. This exhibition lasted a long time, from July 19 to August 16, 2024, located in Jakarta, precisely at Kopi Kalyan Menteng. Which is one of the collaborators as the host when the exhibition was held in Japan.

This exhibition is a manifestation of the book "More or Less" which was released in 2022. The book is republished but has a bilingual edition that provides materials in two languages. This aims to reach a wider and larger audience that is not only from Indonesia.

The concept of the exhibition in Jakarta was made as similar as possible to the one in Japan so that visitors who did not have the opportunity to attend Japan could enjoy the same euphoria, but with a wider space compared to the one in Japan. This further gave Atelier Riri more freedom to express their style and concept. In this case, Atelier Riri collaborated with graphic design studio Sapu Terbang and interior contractor Rootslab, providing an interesting visual impression.Thisexhibition applies the concept of sustainability by selecting lightweight materials such as wood, fabric and rattan. The fabric materials are placed hanging on the wooden structure, creating spatial intervention in the room and enhancing the atmosphere.

Not only will the exhibition contain the best works of Atelier Riri, but it will also be filled with various interesting discussions and talks, which will add many new insights by sharing and exchanging views. Riri Yakub, the principal architect of Atelier Riri, hopes that the "More or Less" exhibition can open new insights and provide inspiration in architecture.
