At the moment and until December 25, Potato Head is also exhibiting its strategies of reuse and design projects at their ‘N*thing is Possible’ exhibition in Singapore. Named Sweet Potato Lab, the R&D workshop uses surplus materials from daily operations alongside waste collected from Bali to fabricate design objects and decor.
And instead of doing everything behind closed doors, the team has set up their research and development design workshop in plain sight within the resort, so that guests and visitors can learn more and even participate in the processes. ‘Waste isn’t waste until it ends up in a landfill,’ explains the Potato Head team as they have figured out a way to give almost anything that gets discarded at the property a new lease of life. And although sustainability may be one of the most used (and abused) buzzwords by now, this resort actually makes good on its promise. Founded by Indonesian entrepreneur Ronald Akili, Potato Head holds the mantra ‘Good Times, Do Good’, a guiding principle that means that anything good that happens at the Desa should have a positive impact on the environment and on the local community.
The carbon-neutral property, featuring the OMA-designed Potato Head Studios, unfolds as a creative village where music, art, design, food and wellness converge under a zero waste philosophy.
Set on a sandy beach in Seminyak, Bali, Desa Potato Head is not your typical beachfront luxury resort.
