OUR STORY

Born in Bali, shaped by the world, and deeply rooted in Indonesia’s cultural soul — Kitabisa Design Studio is the creation of Ririn Yaxley, a textile artist, fashion designer, and furniture creator. After years of traveling, designing, and exhibiting internationally, Based upon her passion for designing and almost 20 years travelling the world, Ririn has returned to her land of origin to showcase her handmade collection, to create a sanctuary where art and functional design merge seamlessly.

Every Kitabisa piece is handcrafted in Indonesia — a fusion of contemporary design, artisanal skill, and sustainable materials. From sculptural lighting to one-of-a-kind furniture and large-scale installations, our work is designed to inspire, connect, and last.

ARTISTRY IN DESIGN

Ririn’s creative world is defined by felting, large installations, wearable art, and a passion for reimagining materials. With training from the Interior Design Institute and the Florence Institute of Design International, she transforms ideas into tangible works that are both artful and purposeful.

Our design ethos is grounded in sustainability — we work with natural fibers and repurposed materials, creating pieces that celebrate nature’s beauty while leaving a lighter footprint on the planet.

We believe sustainability should feel luxurious — tactile textures, timeless design, and uncompromising quality. Every creation reflects our commitment to eco-conscious craftsmanship and functional beauty, designed to be treasured for generations.

SUSTAINABLE LUXURY

Felting: Ancient Craft, Modern Vision

Felting is one of the world’s oldest textile arts, and for Ririn, it’s also a form of meditation. Since 2016, she has explored its endless creative possibilities, blending its soft, organic textures into furniture, art pieces, and lighting.

In her hands, felting is more than a craft — it’s a way of storytelling. Each piece is a dialogue between tradition and innovation, softness and structure, heritage and modern living.

BEYOND DESIGN

Ririn is also the founder of Circa Hotels, a collection of boutique heritage stays in Australia — each one offering a distinct blend of history, art, and intimate hospitality.
