Art Jakarta 2025 is buzzing with contemporary works, but one installation has everyone reaching for their phones and flooding their feeds: “New Horizon.” A collab between Taco, the premium space-solution brand, and Indonesian architect-artist Jessica Soekidi, this piece doesn’t just sit pretty—it moves you.

Not Just Art—It’s a Vibe
Hanging in Hall C-3 at JIExpo Kemayoran, “New Horizon” features an upside-down triangular structure crafted from Taco’s High Pressure Laminates (HPL). Picture soft tones inspired by the exact moment when night fades into morning—like standing inside a sunrise. At its heart? A giant convex mirror, glowing like a surreal sun, reflecting not just the space but you. Visitors don’t just view this piece; they become part of it.

Why Everyone’s Obsessed
It’s the perfect blend: premium materials, dreamy aesthetics, and a message that resonates deeply—new beginnings, optimism, and endless possibilities. The flooring alone—Taco’s award-winning Vinyl Flooring (yep, crowned Superbrands 2025)—adds warmth and a cozy park-like feel in the middle of Jakarta’s biggest art fair. People aren’t just snapping pics; they’re staying, reflecting, feeling.

The Philosophy Behind the Glow
For Jessica, “New Horizon” isn’t just about design flex. It’s a celebration of transitions—the unknown space between night and day, fear and hope, doubt and confidence. “Materials don’t just build space,” she says, “they can speak, they can tell stories.” The result? A living narrative of resilience and renewal that resonates with anyone standing beneath its glow.

Bigger Than One Installation
Art Jakarta’s Artistic Director, Enin Supriyanto, calls it a prime example of how industry and art can collide to create something more than beautiful—something meaningful and interactive. And Taco isn’t new to this game; every year, their collabs with artists (local and global) bring fresh energy to the fair.

The Takeaway

“New Horizon” is more than art. It’s a moment—a reminder that design, tech, and creativity can merge to spark conversations about who we are and where we’re headed. If you’re stepping into Art Jakarta 2025, this is the piece you can’t afford to miss.
