CURATED LIVING Where Art Feels Like Home

Some spaces simply look beautiful. Others make you feel something.

This July, ASHTA District 8 invites you to experience CURATED LIVING, a month-long celebration where art, design, and everyday living come together in ways that feel effortless, inspiring, and deeply personal. Because sometimes, the most meaningful spaces aren’t just designed to be seen, they’re designed to be lived in.

Because great spaces do more than impress, they inspire.

Bringing together artists, designers, and creative tastemakers, CURATED LIVING transforms familiar spaces into immersive experiences filled with texture, perspective, and discovery. From statement-making installations to unexpected artistic encounters, every corner invites you to see design not just as decoration, but as something deeply personal.

Alaya Kala Where Art Meets Everyday Living.

At the heart of CURATED LIVING is Alaya Kala, an immersive exhibition presented by SANKHARA at the Melting Pot. Featuring the expressive sculptures of renowned Indonesian artist Adi Gunawan, the exhibition transforms a living space into a thoughtfully curated environment where contemporary art and interior design exist in perfect harmony.

Named after the Sanskrit words alaya (a place of refuge) and kala (time), Alaya Kala reflects a space shaped by memory, movement, and lived experiences. Inspired by Adi Gunawan’s roots in Yogyakarta, the exhibition subtly draws from the spirit of the traditional Javanese Joglo, translated into a contemporary spatial experience. 

Rather than looking back with nostalgia, Alaya Kala explores how heritage can feel relevant, fluid, and beautifully present in modern life.

Created in collaboration with POLA Studio, Theory of Living, and Quatro Design Studio, Alaya Kala blurs the line between gallery and home. Here, sculptures become part of everyday living, while furniture, textures, and spatial design come together to create an atmosphere that’s as inspiring as it is inviting.

It’s a gentle reminder that great design isn’t only about how a space looks, it’s about how it makes you feel.

Beyond The Walls Art That Finds You

The experience doesn’t end inside the exhibition.

With Beyond The Walls, CURATED LIVING extends into the Connecting Langham, where five contemporary sculptures become part of your journey through ASHTA. Instead of waiting inside a gallery, these artworks reveal themselves naturally along your path.

On your way to coffee. Between meetings. Before dinner. During a spontaneous stroll. Each piece invites you to pause, look closer, and experience familiar spaces through a different lens. Because art doesn’t always ask for attention. Sometimes, the best moments happen when you least expect them.

More than an exhibition, CURATED LIVING is about embracing intentional living—creating spaces that spark creativity, inspire conversation, and make everyday moments feel more meaningful. Discover CURATED LIVING at ASHTA District 8 from 3–26 July 2026, and experience how art and design can transform the everyday into something extraordinary.
