Monday, 02 Dec 2024

PT Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia honors interior designers and architects for their ideal residential works that blend aesthetics with air quality considerations.

The awards were presented during the DAIKIN Proshop Designer Award 2024 ceremony held in Jakarta on Thursday, November 28, 2024.

A total of 22 awards were given across seven categories, showcasing the best works since the competition opened in May.

This marks the fourth year of the DAIKIN Proshop Designer Award, which has attracted over 600 participants, showing a steady increase from previous years.

"This aligns with our goal to promote awareness and a new culture of ideal living spaces in Indonesia, combining aesthetics with air quality," said Shinji Miyata, President Director of PT Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia, in a statement on Saturday, November 30, 2024.

Shinji noted that the growing number of participants reflects the prestige of the competition, organized in collaboration with major associations supporting architects and interior designers in Indonesia, including the Indonesian Institute of Architects (IAI) DKI Jakarta, IAI West Java, and the Indonesian Interior Designers Association (HDII) Jakarta.

This year, the competition not only caters to professional architects and interior designers but also includes a category for students.

The categories are divided into professional and student groups, covering both built projects and conceptual designs.

There is also a special category that awards based on the choice of Daniel Mananta, an Indonesian celebrity who serves as a guest judge alongside representatives from the association and DAIKIN.

The theme of EXPRESSION presents a challenge for all participants to express their ideas and new approaches in creating an ideal living space that combines comfort with aesthetic elements and air quality.

Shinji Miyata further stated that beyond being a competition, the DAIKIN Proshop Designer Award aims to provide a platform for interior design and architecture practitioners to share a common vision of ideal living spaces in Indonesia.

"We hope this space continues to foster new approaches from interior design and architecture professionals that balance design beauty and air quality, ensuring comfort and supporting user health," said Shinji.

As a Japanese air conditioning specialist with nearly 100 years of experience, Shinji Miyata mentioned that DAIKIN is ready to support the creation of ideal living spaces through its diverse technologies and innovations in air conditioning products, particularly the DAIKIN Home Central series.

In addition to simplifying installation with its unique design that connects one outdoor unit to multiple indoor units, the DAIKIN Home Central also offers a variety of indoor unit designs.

This variety is intentionally created to blend seamlessly and add an elegant touch to the interior of each space according to its purpose. Additionally, it promotes user health by maintaining humidity levels and eliminating harmful airborne particles through layered filtration.
