Using cutting-edge techniques and an innovative approach, MM Galleri gives new meaning to the art and craft of stonework.
Stonemasonry may be one of the earliest trades in the history of human civilisation but entrepreneur Peter Tjioe sees no reason why it can’t progress beyond the timeworn techniques of old, particularly when it comes to its decorative applications. The president of MM Galleri Group, an Indonesia-based stone specialist and fabricator, has been working towards creating more precise and more ecological machine-assisted means of working with the material.
Established in 1992, the company has over two decades of experience in the industry. Its most recent innovation: the ability and technique to bend marble and other types of natural stone. It’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the company’s technical achievements and ambitions.
“Our competitive edge lies in the fabrication—we do everything from packing, cutting to polishing the stone,” shares Tjioe. “We believe in having the right combination of skilled staff, technical ability and the right facilities.” Today, the company works with various natural stone imported from over 50 countries, collaborating with architects and designers on projects worldwide through its three offices in Surabaya, Jakarta and Singapore. The latter, which opened earlier this year, is a particularly awe-inspiring sight, appearing like a subterranean cave decorated with marble-clad walls.
