The Founding Couple
House of Valenstone is shaped by Sherley Yahya Putri Kornaat and Peter Alexander Kornaat. Sherley carries the cultural, Indonesian-rooted heart of the House; Peter builds the strategic architecture that allows its projects to endure.
Shared Philosophy
Sherley is not positioned as a conventional influencer. She is the founder-ambassador and cultural host of the House: a living bridge to Indonesian heritage, hospitality, taste, ritual and family story. Peter builds the strategic architecture behind the ventures, partnerships and media structures. Together they translate heritage into projects with continuity, and ambition into a house that can be recognised, trusted and carried over time.

Indonesian Heritage, Hospitality & Cultural Relations
Sherley carries the cultural heart of House of Valenstone. Rooted in Indonesian heritage and shaped by a life between Indonesia and Europe, she brings hospitality, taste, ritual, family memory and ancestral story into the House. Her role is that of cultural host and bridge-builder: opening doors with warmth, discretion and lived cultural intelligence.

Strategy, Private Ventures & Business Architecture
Peter gives the House its structure: business architecture, strategic positioning, partnerships, growth logic and long-term enterprise value. His work is rooted in the discipline of moving from founder-dependence to blueprint, from pressure to structure and from ambition to continuity. Within the House, he turns ideas into frameworks that can be trusted, repeated and carried over time.
Sherley's world is shaped by Indonesia: hospitality, ceremony, food, family memory, landscape and the human intelligence of welcome. Her story is rooted in Bengkulu and Rejang heritage, a foundation treated by the House with respect, discretion and archival humility.
For House of Valenstone, this heritage is not used as ornament. It informs the deeper cultural foundation of the work: the bridge between Indonesia and Europe, ancestral roots and modern hospitality, family memory and cinematic storytelling. Through First Class Indonesia, Taste of Ancestors and the hospitality vision behind Villa and Resort Valenstone, Sherley opens a world where culture is not displayed, but lived.
Peter's work gives the House its strategic discipline. He translates creative and cultural ambition into ventures, partnerships and operating structures that can be repeated, protected and trusted beyond a single moment of attention.
Their shared standard is simple but demanding: build with taste, act with discretion, protect the relationship and think beyond the first generation. That is where the House becomes more than a brand. It becomes a living structure.
