A cozy modern space to read, work, and unwind

The iconic bookstore in the Blok M area of South Jakarta has returned with a new identity and look. Formerly known as Gramedia Melawai, it is now reintroduced as Gramedia Jalma. This change goes beyond a simple renaming, it marks a significant transformation aimed at offering a more modern, comfortable, and relaxed reading space for the urban community.

Located at Jl. Melawai 3 No. 12–18, South Jakarta, Gramedia Jalma presents a refreshed appearance with an open and aesthetically pleasing interior design. Books are now arranged by themes, providing visitors with a more curated and engaging browsing experience. Dedicated sections for recommended reads, popular fiction, and a vibrant children's corner enhance the overall atmosphere.

One of the most notable additions is a café-style seating area on the right side of the entrance. Visitors can unwind in a relaxed setting while reading or working on their laptops. Long, comfortable tables are also available, turning the store into more than just a place to buy books, it’s now a hub for studying, working, or simply taking a break.

Gramedia Jalma’s transformation is a testament to how bookstores can evolve to meet the needs of modern lifestyles, where comfort and multifunctionality are essential. With a more flexible spatial concept, Gramedia offers not only access to books and stationery but also a welcoming environment that fosters social interaction and productivity.

This revitalized concept is expected to attract a broader range of visitors, especially younger generations seeking an inspiring place to read, work, or relax. Gramedia Jalma has become a new cultural destination in South Jakarta, blending the essence of a bookstore with the warmth and spirit of a communal space.

For those planning to visit, Gramedia Jalma is open daily. On weekdays, it operates from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, while on weekends it opens earlier at 9:30 AM and closes at 10:00 PM. With its renewed concept and inviting atmosphere, Gramedia Jalma is an ideal spot for book lovers and anyone looking for a modern reading space in the heart of Jakarta.
