Behind the design: Custom gifts and merchandise for events and brands

We’ve been lucky to work with several brands and events over the past years to create custom and branded gifts for their clients or event attendees. Elami Productions transforms moments into lasting memories through immersive event experiences in Bali. Building on our expertise in event design and production, we now extend our vision to bespoke gifts and merchandise that tell your Bali story. Whether for a special room drop, event gift bag, or an attendee present that is part of the event experience, we can make suggestions to find your perfect match.

We offer a few different options, including branding our existing designs, or starting from scratch. Below is an example of an existing design branded by a Uluwatu hotel called Asa Maia for guests gifts.

Working with Bali's finest artisans, we create customized pieces that honor local craftsmanship while meeting contemporary design sensibilities for corporate gifts.

Above all we value:

- Authentic cultural connections

- Sustainable production practices

- Artisanal quality

- Innovative design

- Community impact

Below is a Balinese tridatu bracelet made with sterling silver clasp and charm with a stamped company logo. This was handmade by traditional Balinese silversmiths to give to guests attending an incentive event.

From concept to creation, each piece reflects our deep understanding of Bali's rich artistic heritage and our clients' contemporary visions. Whether designing for an intimate gathering or a grand corporate event, we ensure every element – from the event experience of receiving the gift to the take-home pieces – weaves together seamlessly.

Our merchandise range include:

- Custom-designed and branded event keepsakes

- Limited edition collaborative pieces

- Branded merchandise that tells your story

- Event-specific commemorative items

It’s not just the gift, but how it’s presented to the guest. below is a traditional weaving loom set up at an event where guests could see how the traditional Balinese scarf they received was made in front of their eyes, making it more meaningful and memorable.

Drawing on our established relationships within Bali's creative community and our experience working with international brands, our merchandise and gifts resonate with both local and global audiences. Each project is approached with our famed attention to detail and commitment to sustainability, ensuring that every item not only delights its recipient but also honors Bali's artistic legacy and natural resources.

With Elami Productions, your event story continues long after the last guest departs, living on through thoughtfully crafted pieces that capture the essence of your special moment in Bali.

Behind the design: Room4Dessert merchandise

We were excited to create a line of merchandise for Room4Dessert based on Chef Will Goldfarb’s recipe notes, written in the back of a copy of A Moveable Feast. The quick sketches, loops of the pen, and the English and French words that jumped out of the scribbles, like pamplemousse, chocolate milkshake, citron and creme brulee, made us fall in love.

We created a t-shirt, water bottle, apron, tea towel, notebook and shopping tote based on an image that appeared in Chef Will’s cookbook taken by Martin Westlake. All are available to buy at The Powder Room by Room4Dessert.

Behind the design: Uluwatu Surf Villas Artist Series

In our work with the incredible Uluwatu Surf Villas, we produced different merchandise as part of their Artist Series, collaborations with illustrators and artists from Indonesia and abroad.

The first artist we worked with to transform their artwork from digital to screen-printed fabric was the talented Christina Budi, an Indonesian batik illustrator based in Amsterdam. Christina is known for her modern batik print designs.

Christina received a list of Uluwatu Surf Villa icons like the kingfisher birds, monkeys, local fishing boats, Balinese offerings and temple gates, and the fish that patrol the waves. She also received a color palette of classic batik shades of blue and brown. She then created an incredible design and pattern. We took it from there to create a pattern and make it screen print ready for production.

The second artist we had the honor of working with was Niluh Pangestu, a Balinese artist working with linocut and digital illustration. Niluh offered up icons from several of her recent works to be turned into a series of cards, t-shirts, notebooks and tote bags for the property.
