Qua Presents

The Ivory Nyonya Collection

The early Peranakans adopted a practice of incorporating expensive decorative ceramic tiles into the interior and exterior of their houses as a reflection of their lifestyle and status. ​ The decorative tiles, usually in floral motifs, would pastel and vibrant colours into their Victorian architecture houses that reflect the East meets West blend of the Straits Chinese. Due to both time and modernization in Singapore, the production of these tiles in Singapore slowly diminished along with the forgotten Peranakan Heritage, and eventually ceased in production.​ The Ivory Nyonya Collections presents a modern twist to the classic Peranakan tiles.

The Ivory Nyonya Collection

The collection puts a modern spin on the classic Peranakan tiles, against the backdrop of matte white and teal lacquer. The tiles are specially treated, to give it a three dimensional look.
