At JIA Curated 2026, not everything in the Second Growth pavilion was ironwood.
Designed by Alexis Dornier for Kaltimber, the pavilion was largely built around reclaimed ironwood, with Kitaru contributing two decking areas made from reclaimed Bangkirai.
It was a chance to put this often-overlooked hardwood into an architectural setting and let the material speak for itself — through its grain, texture, warmth and the way it settles naturally into the landscape.
A small part of the pavilion, but an important one: sometimes the best way to appreciate a material is simply to give it room to be seen.
