Artisan Alley takes place at Lobby Mandapa, Indonesia Design District (IDD), PIK 2, as part of the official program for Indonesia Design Week (IDW) 2026. Designed as a lively platform for creative expression, this space brings together a diverse collective of independent local artisans, artists, and small-scale makers from across the region.

Rather than just a traditional marketplace, Artisan Alley celebrates the personal journeys and creative processes behind each participating brand. Every setup reflects a distinct design perspective, where local craftsmanship meets modern artistic vision. The initiative highlights how individual creators translate their personal stories, cultural roots, and creative ideas into meaningful work.

By creating a direct connection between makers and the public, the space encourages visitors to engage with the local design community on a deeper level. Visitors attending IDW 2026 can stroll through Lobby Mandapa, meet the creators in person, and experience the passion that drives Indonesia’s evolving landscape of art and design.
