A Touch of Culture in Noi Aswari Hamka's Modern Oriental Residential | My Home My Style

ELLE Indonesia is being welcomed by Noi Aswari Hamka for a tour of her home in Jakarta. An airy space enhanced by antique silhouettes paired with modern pieces offers an eclectic yet zen feel, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. “This house reflects our family’s cultural identity. The Chinoiserie elements represent the cultural background of the Feisal family with Chinese heritage. I myself come from South Sumatra. In this house, my husband and I strive to harmonize our cultural roots to coexist through various decorative elements,” Noi says about the design of her family’s house that embraces characteristics of Peranakan culture.
