“Taking care of your health is the number one thing to do,” says Robyn Lukmito, who founded RR Atelier, which provides custom-made furniture, interior design and planning services, with her sister Renata in 2016. “It’s as simple as drinking a lot of water. I drink green juice every morning, and I do yoga, Pilates and Muay Thai to keep my body strong. Once a week, I go to the salon or the beauty clinic to do my hair and refresh my face.
“My dreams are always about design. I like colours, patterns, textures, inspiring artworks. My dad owns (furniture manufacturer) Citra Cipta Bika. Watching his company grow encouraged me to become an interior designer.”
Robyn studied at Parsons’ School of Design, New York, majoring in Interior Architecture, for four years. She then worked for interior design firms for a couple of years. “That was a totally new world for me, learning how to please a high-end clientele,” she says. “After New York, I moved to Paris for eight months, designing for small apartments and studying French at the Sorbonne. I explored a lot of antique shops and flea markets in Paris. The French love vintage stuff.”
