Kueh Tile Velvet Coaster
Singapore’s multiculturalism and fame as a food paradise are encapsulated in this kaleidoscopic pattern of sweet and savoury treats. Inspired by our memories of life in Tiong Bahru when we enjoyed easy access to the best local kueh (bite-sized snack or dessert) shop, Galicier, popularly known for its fresh Kueh Dadar, this Kueh Tile design pays homage to the creativity of Singapore’s founding generations of kueh makers.They were mothers, grandmothers or humble snack sellers who passed down the tradition of kueh making, gifting us with the most colourful and delectable array of treats. In this pattern, you will relish a fun rendition of what Singaporeans love - kueh tutu, pineapple tart, kueh dadar, peng kueh, dumpling, ladoo, otah-otah and ondeh-ondeh of which some of them are also Peranakan's treats.
Peranakan Floral Tile Placemat
Used to embellish Peranakan houses in early 1900s, these beautifully glazed floral tiles inspired by nature were emblems of wealth and affluence as well as desired architectural design elements. They can still be found on the facades of conserved shophouses in historic districts such as Emerald Hill, Katong, Little India, Kampong Glam, Chinatown, etc. These architectural gems dotted across Singapore continue to delight and excite culture and design enthusiasts today.
