alvinT

alvinT is a Jakarta-based furniture brand founded in 2006 by Alvin Tjitrowirjo, combining Indonesia’s cultural heritage and artisanal tradition with contemporary sensibilities. Pieces are hand-made by skilled local artisans — the same hands that have crafted for internationally renowned furniture brands — and range from bespoke projects to collections.

The practice rests on almost two decades of design experimentation and on a question: how design can carry a meaningful existence in a world of ever-increasing consumption. Its answer is furniture with a global appeal that respects materials and nature, that is made with awareness and intention, and that ignites conversation on an alternative way of living. alvinT also runs a gallery in the Indonesia Design District in Tangerang, Banten, built around the idea of People, Place and Culture.
