Our Story
Aness (Aness Nawa Semesta) is a multidisciplinary design practice focused on creating meaningful visual and spatial experiences. We work across interior design, architecture, graphic media, and visual storytelling.
Aness was founded by A Nabil Sabirin, an interior architect with a background in filmmaking and visual arts. It started as a personal creative outlet—its name formed from his initials (ANS)—and has grown into a studio that blends technical precision with artistic intuition.
The idea started as an Instagram page, casually pretending to be a research studio—posting design processes and snapshots of friends working together at cafés. At the time, it was unclear whether this would ever turn into something real.
Aness became more tangible in 2021, during Nabil’s final thesis project. With support from two close friends, this marked the studio’s first collaborative effort. One year later, the team was commissioned for a project in Germany, which became a pivotal moment.
Since then, Aness has continued to operate fluidly—taking on works like interior renders, design proposals, and visual content. The studio has no fixed base, with collaborators scattered across Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya, working together based on context and need.
Our Philosophy
We believe that design should be clear, functional, and quietly bold. Every project starts with curiosity, guided by attention to detail and a human-centered mindset. Our goal is to make design that not only looks good, but also feels right and resonates with its users.
