Kartini Asia Inc. has established a permanent niche in lifestyle landscapes. Kartini embodies the passion of Nina Malvar in creating lifestyle landscapes, which allow a seamless flow between the relaxing tropical outdoor and the warm finish of the interiors. Water is the unifying element of her landscapes whether in the refreshing sound of the cascading waterfalls or the inviting calmness of a water fountain.
Nina Malvar's concept of a tropical garden is based on "the natural arrangement of plants based on form, texture and color, not necessarily flowers." It brings to mind lush planting, dense foliage and a sense of how plants would thrive in natural setting.
Largely inspired by her travels across Asia, Nina Malvar effortlessly draws from the best of different cultures and fuses them into a design worthy of being called truly Asian.
Asked about her design philosophy, Nina Malvar simply says, "Good design should be smooth and natural. Development should always conform with nature." Indeed, wise words borne out of experience and passion."
"Joy is nature lived through one's creativity & passion."
