Tropical Mirage: An Invitation to Timeless Tropical Luxury
Last updated: 23 December 2025
The Tropical Mirage installation at Indonesia Design Week 2025 offered an elevated vision for living, establishing a new pinnacle for durable, high-end tropical design. This sophisticated project, a collaboration between Singres and DMDIO, beautifully articulated the Singres philosophy: Bringing Art to Life. The space immediately conveyed an atmosphere of seamless, resort-style serenity, serving as a compelling real-world validation that exquisite craftsmanship and artistic expression can withstand and define the challenging tropical climate.
The core challenge addressed by the installation was proving that refined artistry and lasting structural integrity could coexist in equatorial environments. Tropical Mirage was not merely decorative; it was a technical demonstration disguised as a dreamscape, ensuring that every element, from the floating loungers to the sculptural towers, met the highest standards of endurance.
The initial design and spatial flow were masterfully conceived by DMDIO, who were solely responsible for the design of the booth and its core furniture collection. DMDIO's approach focused on fluid, uninterrupted luxury, utilizing curved terracotta towers and pastel mosaic loungers that appeared to float above water. This mastery in spatial design created a compelling, immersive environment that felt like an organic extension of high-end resort architecture, where every curve encouraged serene, natural interaction.
To translate this design into durable, physical comfort, the furniture was manufactured by EVERY, the recognized artisan furniture brand. EVERY flawlessly executed DMDIO's innovative specifications, especially the seamless integration of tiled surfaces, ensuring the final products possessed both sculptural elegance and practical, long-lasting resilience. Their role as the furniture manufacturer was critical in delivering the tactile quality necessary for a high-end experience.
The enduring visual brilliance of the installation hinged upon the Singres mosaics, which served as the ultimate test of artistry against nature. The installation was deliberately exposed to the full spectrum of tropical weather, showcasing the material's performance under intense sunlight and humidity. The lasting beauty of Singres is achieved through meticulous material science: artisan-quality, low-porosity porcelain is anchored using a proprietary, high-performance grout. This systemic method is crucial for maintaining the refined aesthetic, offering comprehensive resistance to mold, water absorption, cracking, and color degradation.
Tropical Mirage successfully demonstrated that exceptional design need not compromise on permanence. The elegant combination of graceful forms, refined pastel palettes, and inherent material excellence sets a definitive new standard for luxury interiors and exteriors. It confirms that the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of Singres tiles, coupled with collaborative design expertise, is ready for the most demanding high-specification projects.
