DESIGN INSPIRATION

Emerald Hill Collection

The Emerald Hill Collection draws its creative inspiration from The Little Nyonya Singapore drama series, blending the rich heritage of Peranakan culture with a modern aesthetic. This design celebrates the timeless elegance of Peranakan patterns while making it accessible and relevant to contemporary tastes. Here’s a breakdown of the inspiration:

Emerald Hill’s Historic Charm

The collection name and design reference Emerald Hill, a historic area in Singapore known for its beautifully preserved Peranakan-style architecture. This echoes the harmony between heritage preservation and modern city life.

Peranakan Tile Motifs 

The intricate geometric and floral patterns are a direct nod to traditional Peranakan tiles often seen in heritage shophouses. These tiles symbolize the cultural vibrancy and artistic finesse of the Peranakan community, while the pastel color palette adds a fresh and youthful feel.

Modern Minimalism

While the patterns stay true to their roots, the overall design embraces a clean, minimalist layout with gentle pastel tones. The simplicity ensures it appeals to a wider audience, blending tradition with modern functionality.

Contemporary Utility

The design pairs heritage visuals with a sleek, practical form factor, like the 600ml thermal tumbler, catering to the modern-day consumer who values functionality as much as aesthetic appeal.
