SAKA MUSEUM
The SAKA Museum is one dedicated to Balinese Hinduist culture and traditional crafts in the Ayana Estate in Jimbaran, Bali. The entire interior seeks inspiration from local natural and cultural heritage in order to represent the powerful connection between culture and nature in Balinese Hinduism. From the tranquil night sky of Nyepi to water caves, volcano rocks to jasper and agate of Indonesia, Saka Museum defines each area through the translation of nature into architecture in formal and material expression. Different Balinese Hinduist motifs were also reflected in the architectural language through a contemporary lens while maintaining the essence of the traditional form.

In an era where commercial exhibition spaces are increasingly homogenized, TSPACE Design redefines brand narrative logic through innovative curatorial thinking, breaking through the physical limitations of traditional displays and injecting differentiated experiential value into commercial spaces. By combining environmental storytelling with emotional resonance in its design strategy, the brand essence is transformed into a perceptible spatial language. For this design at the Shanghai exhibition, the designers used a showroom created for the cactus lighting brand as a practical platform. Within the limited 36 square meters, they constructed an immersive theater that links the imagery of the desert with modern industrial aesthetics, exploring the potential of commercial spaces transitioning from functional displays to experiential innovation.
