WHF Indonesia - CYNTHIA HARDY

Cynthia Hardy
With a rare combination of strong aesthetic vision and shrewd business instincts, Cynthia Hardy began making her own jewelry in her teens. Post-college, she moved to Bali and, after running her own import-export company, got married and became one-half of her husband’s eponymous jewelry label, John Hardy Jewelry. In 2007, John and Cynthia stopped working in the company to dedicate their time to advocating for and building a more sustainable world through education and design. As their first major project, John and Cynthia conceived and created the Green School in Bali, Indonesia to deliver pioneering education for the future with a curriculum based on the Three Frame Day by Alan Wagstaff. The uniqueness of the school lies in the integration of traditional subjects, creative arts and green studies wrapped in rich layers of experiential, environmental, and entrepreneurial learning. John and Cynthia also co-founded Bambu Indah in Ubud, Bali. Bambu Indah is a radically distinctive boutique hotel. Since 2005, eleven antique Javanese bridal homes have been brought to Bali, restored, and decorated with the finest details. Since then, the property has expanded to the riverside, pioneering a sustainable future with innovative, bespoke and luxurious bamboo structures for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
