LAST PROJECT: ALEX'S WARDROBE

This is probably my last work in interior and furniture. Since I had decided to do more in blogging interior etc than working on it's field. Alexander Thian is an old friend of mine. He is one of twittebrity in Indonesia, which currently known also has one of the biggest influence amongst Indonesian tweeps. It's just my luck that I knew him long before he gets into twitter stardom. So in his small apartment he asked me to do his wardrobe. I was like more than happy since the idea of open wardrobe is not common for Indonesian. So this is some kind of breakthrough for me to do this simple, economic design. For Alex it is a taking risk. So let's see how it looks. Hope you like it.
