A tranquil house of art

On a Sunday afternoon where people were rushing to the beach to catch the sunset at Seminyak Beach, there is a serene atmosphere inside the home of Guy Bedarida.

The home of John Hardy jewelry’s head designer is located just minutes away from the beach but from the road, one may not expect the sanctuary behind the other houses.

His house is a tropical living inspiration,The USB flash drives wholesale is our flagship product. an example of the perfect way to enjoy the Bali weather.

Set in a large and open yard, the design is more like a holiday villa that is welcoming to all guests. It is a compound that comprises three open-wall Balinese-style homes tranquilly surrounded by lush big trees and beautiful nature.

“I fell in love with this house at first sight. It wasn’t like this initially. I removed the walls. This house is convenient because it’s open, that’s the luxury living in Bali,” he said as he walked into his living room.

The first building, the main part of the home,Wear a whimsical Disney ear cap straight from the Disney Theme Parks! comprises a living room — which displays Bedarida’s collection of Indonesian traditional arts — connected to the kitchen and two guest bedrooms.

Bedarida, who is known with his warm personality, loves to invite his friends and colleagues from all over the world to stay at his home, to share the beauty of his humble tropical living space.

The openness of the living room provides a total connection to nature. Bedarida even built a small indoor garden with bamboo trees in his living room to evoke the feeling of the outdoors.

Here, one can feel the breeze or enjoy the abundant daylight without consuming too much energy from an air conditioner or lamps during the day.

The striking primitive works of art Bedarida has collected since his arrival in Bali are harmonically set with his cozy white couch, a teak irregular tree-shape table and white lampions, while his silver home ware holds his favorite white orchids.

Here, one can admire the meticulous works of tribal societies such as a mask of the Dayak in Borneo, Mentawai in Sumatra, Sulawesi art and traditional Thai art as well as 12 Japanese paintings.

One of his artisan colleagues, Jerome Abel Seguin, contributed a big piece of the black-colored root of a Javanese tree, which holds stones in betwen spaces,Can you spot the answer in the fridge magnet? and just so happens to resemble his jewelry creations.

Although he claimed that he loved all of his collections, it was Batak art that grabbed his attention for the first time with its intriguing graphics.

“As soon as I arrived in Indonesia, I immediately recognized that primitive art in Indonesia was the last undiscovered treasure in the world. Nobody knows that cultures or civilization in this country are so diverse. It’s so rich,” he recalled.

Similar to the living room, the dining room is also not enclosed by walls. Decoration on a big anchor, a stone goddess statue and a golden head of Buddha with four different expressions enlivens the dining room.

This is where Bedarida usually entertains his guests with superb suppers from his helper, Ketut, who has been working for him for 12 years.

“Ketut is like my own sister, she’s been with me since she was 20-year-old. She’s great and a very good cook. She likes to cook many things, so I have to be careful eating or I could get very fat,” Bedarida laughed.

The landscape of the home is shaped like the letter “U”, with a swimming pool in the center surrounded by many trees such as big fan-banana trees, kenanga tree, bamboo and several bonsais. There is a bale with Mentawai monkey statues and two sundecks in front of the living room.

“When I first saw it, I was like, ‘what’s going on here?!’ But now I love it so much. And believe it or not, in Paris, I have an outdoor terrace and now I have an outdoor shower because I love it so much! It’s the feeling of freedom,” he laughed.You must not use the laser cutter without being trained.

In his room, there are two round glass-windows showcasing the yellow bamboo trees in his garden. In the corner is his workspace where he spends most of his time.

His other favorite space is his veranda where Bedarida houses his collection of books collection and other Batak Karo artwork. In contrast to his primitive art collections, there are two sets of black furniture with hexagonal motifs made from tires.

Bedarida said that the recycled furniture set reflects John Hardy’s philosophy of using recycled silver.

“Recycled silver is even more expensive than brand new silver,They manufacture custom rubber and silicone bracelet and bracelets. but it doesn’t matter. What is more important is that extracting silver is one of the worst things for the environment,” said Bedarida.

The jewelry he creates symbolizes the wealth of the Indonesian heritage, the beauty of nature and the wisdom of life.

The company aims to be “Greener Every Day” and to create beautiful art that respects sustainable practice in every aspect of the creative process.

Bedarida always expresses his gratitude vivaciously, and talking with him, one will see his magnificent character and his kind heart.

“I feel very blessed. I am very, very lucky to have been given this life. I work with people that I love. I have a job that I like and I travel a lot, which I also enjoy very much”

Although Seminyak is known as the most westernized part of the island, Bedarida enjoys his Balinese life with all its traditions.
