    Adakah Yang Bisa Menggantikan Sosok Anton Ismael? | Makna Talks Specials Dengan Anton Ismael

    Being 50 isn’t a bonus chapter, for Anton Ismael, it’s a whole new canvas. From capturing spontaneous frames to founding Kelas Pagi and building his creative compound Third Eye Space, Anton has always treated art not as a result, but as a record of life itself. In this special episode, we sit down with Anton to talk about what it means to create after decades of doing it. How does perspective shift when you’ve seen the world through both film grain and digital pixels? And of course, as Anton continues exploring new ways to express himself, the line between art and technology converges beautifully. Even a lifelong analog soul can find a new rhythm in the digital, this time, with a little help from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.---------------Thank you for watching, don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications on these videos to be the first to know our next episodes.

    Pod. 325 Kristian Hansen TALKS ABOUT FINDING SOMETHING IN INDONESIA WE ALL MISSED

    What makes someone leave the comfort of home, travel thousands of kilometers, and discover a new life in a land he never expected to love so deeply? In this episode, we sit down with Kristian Hansen, a Danish traveler who has spent years exploring Indonesia, not as a tourist, but as someone who wants to understand its heart. Through his journey, Kristian has captured raw stories of people, culture, and everyday kindness that the world rarely sees. From riding through remote islands to helping rebuild a bridge in Wakatobi, he shares how Indonesia has changed him in ways he never imagined. He opens up about the beauty and chaos of the road, the small gestures that made him feel like family, the loneliness behind the adventure, and the moment he realized… maybe Indonesia isn’t just a destination, it’s home.

Well, today we’re sitting down with the man behind this beautiful space, the mind and maker himself, Eko Priharseno, the creative force behind Sawdust and a driving figure in Indonesia’s evolving design scene.We talked about how Indonesian design has finally found its momentum, what it means to keep pushing the industry forward, and how sometimes being too forward-thinking can be both a gift and a challenge.

Because at the end of the day, good design isn’t just made, it’s felt, it's forward and it's timeless.
