Advisors
The women guiding the room.
Advisors lend their judgement, experience and care to how The Fifth Room is built and how it grows.

Dianne Suherman
Creative and Visual
Dianne Suherman believes that beauty is never accidental. It is the result of intention, of someone deciding, with quiet conviction, that every detail matters.
Based in Jakarta, she is the co-founder of Brown Tree, an artisan purveyor of fine stationery and paper goods built on a deceptively simple idea: that the act of giving deserves to be made exquisite. Brown Tree was not built on scale or spectacle, but on the kind of care that makes a recipient feel genuinely seen, through the weight of paper, the considered design, the sense that someone thought about them before they ever arrived. Its reach extends well beyond Indonesia, with a clientele and creative influence that spans continents.
It is exactly this sensibility, refined across borders and cultures, that she brings to The Fifth Room.
As Creative and Visual Advisor, Dianne shapes the aesthetic direction of the community, ensuring that everything The Fifth Room presents to the world reflects the intention and elegance at its heart. She understands, instinctively, that how something looks and feels is inseparable from what it stands for.
