JIA Curated 2026: Bali’s Biggest Design Event

What has become a highly-anticipated annual design event in Bali, Jia CURATED is a long immersive weekend celebrating design, craft, art and culture. Founded by Budiman Ong, Rudi Winata and Yang Yang Hartono, the event has become a major showcase for Indonesian and international designers, makers and artists, brought to life through major installations, industry talks and live performances.

JIA Curated returns on 13 to 17 August 2026, but returns with a new location, sprawling out on the sands of Pengembak Beach, Sanur, with design showcases set to be built across the 15,000spm of beachfront, framed by pine trees and mangroves.

The new location will complement this year’s theme, Nature Weave, exploring the interconnected relationships between people, design and natural systems. Both the beachfront location and the theme will challenge participating exhibitors to once again innovate their displays, inviting them to play with this new environment, shaped by sand, stone, sea and sunshine. Around 260 brands are expected to participate in this year’s event, which will feature a major installation by DDAP Architect sponsored by Lamitak; a dedicated space for emerging designers; and a series of large-scale installations that will further enhance the event’s now noteworthy immersive character.

The draw of the event goes much deeper than its visual appeal. Unique programmes and initiatives bring the space to life, including ‘Waste to Wonder 2.0’, an exploration of circular design; an exhibition of models and design maquettes in ‘Architecture in Scale’; and the return of the popular talk series, ‘360° Design Dialogues’, curated by Design Anthology.
