Description
The origins of Singapore’s Chinatown can be traced back to 1822, when the ‘Chinese Kampong’ became home to many Chinese immigrants, and later a transit point for coolies going to Malaya. Chinatown is steeped in rich history of some of Singapore’s earliest pioneers and traditional architecture. With the urban renewal of the area, Chinatown is now a juxtaposition of the old world with the new.
The lanterns that light up Chinatown during the Chinese New Year period gives the area an extra glow, and symbolises prosperity and good fortune. It is also the inspiration behind this artwork, with the kaleidoscopic colour accents and Chinese character ‘福’ representing the hopes and dreams of early Chinese immigrants who made their way to Singapore.
About the ‘Not Just a Little Red Dot’ collection
When someone mentions ‘Singapore’, what comes to mind?
Despite its small land footprint on the world map, Singapore has taken huge strides and big leaps since independence to transform into one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. In Singapore’s transformation journey, iconic national symbols and landmarks were created along the way to represent Singapore in the world, and unite all citizens as one.
Created in my signature contemporary and tactile style, each piece in the collection is inspired by an iconic national symbol or landmark from significant milestones in Singapore’s history and present day developments.
The year when the symbol was created or when the landmark was completed is ‘stamped’ on the artwork, serving as a timestamp marking its historical significance at various points in Singapore’s history.

Very pretty shoes! Ordered on 26th Oct & received on 28th Oct. They fit perfectly! Can now leave these at work as emergency shoes when my shoes get soaked in the rain on the way to work. LOOOVE the design!
Shower steamer smells nice without even unsealing the item, excited to gift it to my friend! Thank you so much! :)

A lot of different relatable emotions! From happy, sad, sarcastic and angry. Applicable to all different backgrounds!
Bought these very cute gnomes for my potted plants and thank you for the free gift!
My 3 year old son really loves these for bath time, even more than bath bombs
I loved it as it was my favourite snack when i was young and it looks cute as a product
I think it’s a great item. I was having a headache on what to buy for my female colleague’s christmas present for secret santa. I was looking through novelty items and i saw this desk sign and i thought it is perfect! She does sales and she always has goals to hit so i thought it would look great on her desk. I just decided to buy it figuring it would be great for her to have something like this.
Plus I was left like one week to buy something and the delivery was fast! Made it just in time for me to give it to my colleague!
This purchase was a rushed buy as I needed them urgently for an overseas trip. What was amazing was their warm and prompt service. Not only were they responsive in their communication, I also received my order very quickly. Thanks again.
