Designing Paradise

More than a designer of jewelry, John Hardy is a storyteller who is keeping a culture and a past alive through his jewelry and home furnishings designs. An expatriate Canadian who now lives in Bali with his family, John and his wife Cynthia have transformed their small Balinese business into a global design company whose designs can now be found in the world’s finest stores. Drawing inspiration from the local artisans who work to create his musings into masterpieces and the lush tropical landscape that surrounds his extraordinary open air longhouse and verdant terraced gardens, John’s approach to his creative work and domestic lifestyle has always been organic and luxurious. His passion is a primitive minimalism.
