Where it came from
The Cities of Wonders series was developed as a curated collection celebrating the intersection of urban landscape and culinary tradition in Southeast Asia. The Singapore: Nyonya Kueh piece was introduced to highlight the Peranakan cultural heritage, specifically focusing on the vibrant, intricate patterns and pastel color palettes characteristic of traditional Nyonya desserts. The design sought to elevate everyday cultural iconography into a display-worthy format, balancing meticulous detail with a minimalist aesthetic.
The design team for the COWS-5 installment emphasized historical authenticity, consulting with local cultural historians to ensure the motifs on the kueh representations mirrored authentic batik and tile patterns found in historical Shophouse architecture. Upon its release, the piece was well-received by collectors who specialize in regional cultural tokens, gaining notice for its tactile quality and its success in capturing the essence of the Singaporean culinary identity without resorting to stereotypical imagery.
