Going Global: Word of Mouth (Bali, Indonesia)

Defying classification and reluctant to apply labels to her own designs, there are elements which make her spaces recognisable. Fresh, modern, softened with round edges and applying colour creatively, there is a kind of industrial edge to her architectural spaces, often characterised by soaring ceilings and cement floors. Her signature, which she claims she really can’t explain, is the egg, one of nature’s most perfect creations. Valentina Audrito who graduated from the Polytechnic of Turin with a Degree in Architecture and a final thesis on “Contemporary Balinese Architecture” ended up in Bali upon meeting her husband and business partner Abhishake Kumbhat. Together, they founded Word of Mouth - a company that is involved with architecture, interior, fashion, retail, cafe and events - everything that sums up Valentina’s passion for incorporating all of the above into our daily lifestyle.
