"Joo Chiat and the Peranakan culture hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I grew up, spending weekends with my family and creating cherished memories. My mum, raised in a Peranakan family, has shared countless stories about her upbringing—stories rich with the flavors of traditional food, the nuances of the language, and anecdotes about my grandmother’s strict adherence to cultural traditions. These influences inspire me as I design a lamp that embodies the vibrant essence of Peranakan heritage."
The lamp is beautifully wrapped in a Peranakan nonya sarong kebaya, a versatile piece that can be worn or reused as a gift wrapper. This sustainable choice reduces waste and celebrates Peranakan heritage, promoting a mindful and eco-friendly lifestyle.
Traditionally worn by nonyas alongside a kebaya, this beautiful ensemble serves as a testament to the rich cultural legacy of the Peranakan people. A beautiful merger of Chinese and Malay influences.
