‘KOPI KOSONG’ Fabric Coasters

Kopi-kaya-loti, the simplest of local breakfast, is one Singapore hawker food that has thrived in both city and heartlands through generations. Especially on weekends, local kopi diam is usually a boisterous affair with shop helpers weaving through tables of customers while shouting out orders to the kitchen, parents and kids happily satisfying themselves with toasted bread overflowing with kaya and butter, friends chatting over kopi and teh about the latest at work, grandpa whiling away time with a cup of kopi, soft-boiled eggs and local newspaper in hand.

Ah, the simple good Singapore life and kopi-kaya-loti is a big, yummy part of it.

This `Kopi Kosong’ pattern gives a shine to this vibrant culture that is replayed every day, everywhere across and beyond the island. What is extraordinary is how such an ordinary space, food and activity bonded generations of Singaporeans. This pattern expresses that bond through a colourful rendition of kopitiam food and objects.
