BADUNG – The furniture brand Lakaan Timor Primitive has officially expanded its business footprint with the opening of two new stores in the South Kuta area of Badung, Bali. The first store is located on Jl. Labuan Sait, Pecatu, while the second store has opened on Jl. Toyaning 2, Ungasan.
The launch of these two outlets marks a significant step for Lakaan Timor Primitive in presenting furniture and decorative pieces inspired by Timorese ethnic aesthetics—highlighting quality craftsmanship, durable materials, and distinctive design.
The name Lakaan is more than a brand identity. It carries deep historical and emotional significance. Lakaan is the name of the highest mountain on Timor Island, located in Belu Regency, East Nusa Tenggara.
The owner of Lakaan Timor Primitive, Adv. Hilarius Mali Asa, S.H., chose the name as a tribute to his homeland—he was born and raised at the foot of Mount Lakaan. This identity also shapes the character of Lakaan’s products: strong, authentic, and reflective of Timorese culture.
Hilarius Mali Asa emphasized that the opening of the two Lakaan stores is not merely a business move but a commitment to delivering broad benefits.
“I opened Lakaan to help many people—from suppliers and craftsmen to workers—while also meeting the needs of customers. Beyond that, we aim to contribute to Bali’s regional economic development through our Lakaan Timor Primitive 1 and 2 furniture products,” he said.
Through these two outlets, Lakaan Timor Primitive targets both local and international markets seeking rustic, ethnic-style furniture with the distinct character of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Each piece is crafted by skilled artisans, bringing not only the authenticity of Timorese culture but also creating job opportunities and strengthening the supply chain for local MSMEs.
With the presence of Lakaan Timor Primitive 1 and 2 in the strategic area of South Kuta, Hilarius hopes the brand will serve as a showcase of Timorese culture in Bali and become a preferred choice for customers looking to add artistic, culturally rich elements to their homes or commercial properties.***
