Jaya Pratomo Ibrahim: Indonesian design guru dies at 67

Renowned Indonesian designer Jaya Pratomo Ibrahim died on May 5, 2015, after sustaining injuries from a fall at his house in east Jakarta. He was 67.

When he first heard that he would receive the Outstanding Contribution Award at the 2015 inaugural Asia Hotel Design Awards in Singapore in March, Jaya Pratomo Ibrahim had said: “Why me?”

Such was the Indonesian designer’s humility, despite being listed by Architectural Digest as one of the “100 best designers in the world” and referred to as “Indonesian Design Guru” by Conde Nast Traveler magazine.
